IN AN ERA OF WEAPONISED INFORMATION, EVERY CLAIM NEEDS A GENUINENESS INDEX
Propaganda, deepfakes, and coordinated narratives now travel faster than the truth. Watchkeeper scores every headline for genuineness by cross-source corroboration — so you can tell signal from psy-op. Watchkeeper grades every alert for reliability and sharpens itself with your verdicts. Built by an OSINT analyst who works as a geopolitical risk analyst — live now.
Free, no signup · press / to search · in information warfare, verification is the first line of defence
We are living through the first sustained information war fought against entire populations at once. Psychological operations, state propaganda, deepfakes, and coordinated bot narratives are engineered to move faster than the truth and to wear down your ability to tell them apart.
The defence is not more news. It is a genuineness index on every claim that reaches you — a transparent score for how much corroboration, from how many independent and reliable sources, actually stands behind it. Watchkeeper exists to put that number in front of you, with its working shown, before you decide what to believe.

The front page, graded for genuineness
A newsroom front page rebuilt as an intelligence surface. The same open-source wire that feeds the console above, organised by topic and region — but every dispatch carries a genuineness readout that shows its working, and a one-tap link to the outlet that published it. No claim is asked to stand on a single source.
Who we read — and how far we trust them
A genuineness product cannot itself be misleading. So every capability is labelled honestly: shipped and running, an in-browser estimate, or a roadmap item that requires server infrastructure we are not pretending to run from a static page.
Today, read with provenance
The day's open-source picture, arranged like a serious front page — but every story carries its source tier, how many independent outlets corroborate it, and a transparent Genuineness score. Open any story to read it with its evidence and jump to the original publisher.
Today's brief, written by the engine
Watchkeeper reads the wires above — GDELT, WION, BBC, Al Jazeera — and drafts a readable situation brief on its own, refreshed automatically. Openly machine-written, every line credited to its outlet, nothing invented. That transparency is the point.
Composing the first draft…
The engine is waiting on the wires. On the live site this fills itself within seconds of the first sweep.
The cross-source verification matrix
One outlet is a claim. Many independent, reliable outlets is a fact. In an information war, the difference is everything. The engine clusters the same story across every wire it reads, weighs each source's reliability, and computes a transparent genuineness score — the core discipline of OSINT, turned against propaganda and shown openly.
Every source, graded and in the open
The catalogue behind the feed — official agencies, fact-checkers, cyber-threat desks, think tanks and academic repositories alongside the newsrooms, each ranked for credibility and linked to its parent site. Tucked away so it never clutters the page; open it only when you want to explore.

Every member makes the watch sharper
Watchkeeper is built as a flywheel, not a feature list. Verdicts and corroborations from members feed the grading engine; sharper grading produces alerts worth sharing; shared alerts bring the next members. The longer it runs, the harder it is to replicate.
Set the watch once. It never stands down.
Three steps, modeled on how a real watch is kept at sea.
Define your sectors
Pick regions, themes, and actors in plain language — with full boolean search when you want precision.
Continuous sweep
Watchkeeper polls global open-source event data every 15 minutes, deduplicates coverage, and grades every alert for reliability and corroboration.
Contacts reported
Critical alerts in minutes via Telegram or email. Everything else in a clean daily digest — triaged and graded.
The community steers what gets built
This is the founder's planned build order, shown openly. Members vote to reorder it — your votes start the tally; nothing here is pre-inflated. Propose anything and it goes straight to Mrs Arushi Dayal Sharma.
Propose a feature
The best ideas come from the watch floor. Pitch it — the community decides.

FOUNDING MEMBER
One payment. A full year of Analyst, a permanent founding badge, double roadmap-vote weight forever, and your name on the first crew list. When the 50 seats are gone, they are gone.
Speak the language of the watch
Every trade has its vocabulary. Search the terms analysts and submariners actually use — the same ones Watchkeeper is built on.
Open-Source Intelligence — insight produced from publicly available information: news, satellite imagery, shipping data, official releases.
NATO's two-axis grading: source reliability A (reliable) to F (cannot judge) × information credibility 1 (confirmed) to 6 (cannot judge).
The Global Database of Events, Language and Tone — a public project monitoring world news media in real time, refreshed every 15 minutes.
The analyst's first verdict on any report: does it matter (signal) or is it clutter (noise)? Watchkeeper learns from every such verdict.
Independent confirmation of a report by separate sources. Each corroboration lifts an alert's credibility grade.
A defined slice of the world you monitor — a region, theme, or set of actors. The unit of attention in Watchkeeper.
A narrow passage that concentrates global shipping — Hormuz, Malacca, Suez, Bab-el-Mandeb. Where geography becomes leverage.
Sea Lines of Communication — the maritime routes a nation's trade and navy depend on. Securing SLOCs is core naval strategy.
Exclusive Economic Zone — waters up to 200 nautical miles from a coast where a state holds resource rights. A frequent flashpoint.
Low-Frequency Analysis and Recording — sonar technique that reads a vessel's acoustic signature like a fingerprint.
Navy slang for the rare sonar operator who hears what machines miss. The highest Watch Rank in Watchkeeper, earned by judgement.
Situation Report — a structured snapshot of what's happening, what changed, and what to watch next. The Desk tier ships one weekly.
The system of continuous duty at sea — First, Middle, Morning watches — ensuring eyes are always open. Watchkeeper's operating metaphor.
Collapsing fifty headlines about one event into a single graded alert. The first filter between the firehose and your feed.
Your personal scoring profile — category weights trained nightly by your verdicts, deciding what surfaces first for you alone.
A pre-set condition that triggers an instant alert — a keyword, a region, a grade threshold. You define it once; the watch never blinks.
Eight passages the world cannot route around
Most of global trade funnels through a handful of narrow waters. Watchkeeper holds live weather on the four most critical — these are the places where one incident becomes everyone's problem.
Hormuz
The world's most watched strait — roughly a fifth of globally traded oil transits here.
Malacca
The artery between the Indian Ocean and East Asia; a quarter of traded goods pass through.
Suez
Europe–Asia shortcut; a single grounding here once held up nearly $10B of trade per day.
Bab-el-Mandeb
The "Gate of Tears" — Suez traffic must pass here too, within sight of contested shores.
Panama
The Americas' shortcut; drought-driven draft limits ripple through global schedules.
Bosphorus
Black Sea grain and energy exit through a strait narrower than many rivers, mid-city.
Gibraltar
The Mediterranean's front door — naval movements here are read like tea leaves.
Lombok–Sunda
The deep-draft detours when Malacca is closed or crowded — watch them to see stress coming.
The prediction ledger
Most platforms publish forecasts and forget them. Watchkeeper keeps a permanent record: who predicted what, with what confidence, by when — and whether it came true. Accountability is the one asset that compounds with time and cannot be faked.

What the first crew says
Watchkeeper is built and run by a working intelligence analyst (see Command, below). User quotes are kept real — these slots stay empty until genuine members fill them, never stocked with invented names.
Your first real testimonial goes here — a sentence on what Watchkeeper caught that mattered.
A second honest quote — ideally about reliability grading or time saved.
A third — short, specific, true. One strong line beats three vague ones.

Arushi Dayal Sharma
GEOPOLITICAL INTELLIGENCE & OSINT ANALYST
Watchkeeper isn't a side project — it's an analyst's own tradecraft, productised. Arushi spent 3+ years in OSINT and SOCMINT, applied as a Geopolitical Risk Analyst. The reliability grading, the Boolean search, the drafted briefs you see here are the same methods she applied for enterprise clients — every support ticket lands on her desk, not a bot farm.
Why not just use Google Alerts?
A fair question, answered plainly. If the free tools cover you, use them — Watchkeeper earns its price only where they fall short.
| Free alerts Google Alerts, raw RSS | Watchkeeper | |
|---|---|---|
| Reliability grading | None — every link looks equal | NATO Admiralty grade on every item |
| Noise control | Manual; inbox floods fast | Dedupes & learns your signal/noise verdicts |
| Corroboration | You cross-check by hand | Cross-outlet matching, trust that adapts |
| One scannable picture | Scattered emails | A drafted situation brief, refreshed automatically |
| World data alongside news | No | Quakes, events, chokepoint weather, FX in one view |
| Cost | Free | Free console · paid tiers for digests & teams |
No tool replaces an analyst's judgement — Watchkeeper sharpens it, it doesn't pretend to be it.
Before you sign on
What exactly is Watchkeeper?
A genuineness index for the information you consume. In an era of psychological and cyber warfare, headlines are weapons as often as they are reports — so Watchkeeper sweeps open-source news, grades each claim's reliability with the NATO Admiralty Code, scores how much independent corroboration stands behind it, and learns from your signal/noise verdicts. It tells you not just what is being said, but how much of it you can actually believe.
Why does a genuineness index matter in an information war?
Because the modern threat is not a lack of information — it is a flood of it, much of it engineered. State propaganda, coordinated bot networks, deepfakes, and manufactured "consensus" are designed to travel faster than verification and to exhaust your ability to tell signal from psy-op. A single outlet carrying a story proves nothing; it may be the origin of the operation. Watchkeeper's defence is structural: it never trusts one source, it weighs each outlet's real track record, it caps single-source claims as unverified, and it shows its working so you are never asked to take its word either. Verification, made transparent, is the first line of defence.
Where does the data come from?
The GDELT Project for global news, plus live links to USGS (seismic), NASA EONET (Earth events), Open-Meteo (chokepoint weather), and ECB reference rates. All free, public, fully legal open data — Watchkeeper's value is the triage, grading, and personalization layered on top.
What does a grade like "B2" mean?
It's the NATO Admiralty Code: a letter for source reliability (A reliable → F unjudgeable) and a number for information credibility (1 confirmed → 6 unjudgeable). B2 means a usually-reliable source whose report is probably true — corroboration lifts grades further.
Is it live yet?
Yes — the console above is the working product: define your own watch sectors and it monitors the live wires for you, free, no signup, while the tab is open. Email/Telegram digests and accounts ship next; founding seats and the email list get them first.
What do founding members get?
One payment, four permanent things: a full year of Analyst, a founding badge, double weight on every roadmap vote forever, and a place on the first crew list. Seats are limited to 50 and never return.
Who is behind Watchkeeper?
It's built and run by Arushi Dayal Sharma, a Geopolitical Risk Analyst with 3+ years in OSINT and SOCMINT, and an M.A. from Goldsmiths, University of London. The grading and Boolean methods here are her professional tradecraft, not borrowed theory. Her LinkedIn is linked in the Command section.
Is my data private?
Your demo model, rank, and votes live on your own device. The only data that leaves this page is what you submit in forms — an email, a proposal, a ticket. No ad trackers, no analytics scripts, nothing sold.
