KRATAXIS
Symbology & confidence

Every event, readable at a glance.

Krataxis assigns each confirmed event a structured ESC code and a source-confidence rating the moment it enters the platform. The code drives the map icon directly — one visual language across every source, from analyst to executive.

01 — Worked example

Every confirmed event in the platform carries a structured ESC code. The code encodes what happened, who caused it, and how confident the platform is — in a format that reads the same whether you are looking at the map or reading the report.

A-SAS-U
A Source reliability
SAS Shelling — Artillery — Sustained
U Unknown actor
Rated on the Admiralty system (A–F source reliability, 1–6 information credibility); tiers shown are the platform's working bands.
02 — Confidence tiers

From unverified to confirmed.

Source confidence is assessed continuously. Items move through tiers as corroboration accumulates and analyst verdicts come in.

TIER 01 — B/2 BAND

Credible, unverified

A strong source, plausible content, no independent corroboration yet. Flagged for analyst review; maps to a provisional icon.

TIER 02 — C/3 BAND

Cross-corroborated

Multiple genuinely independent sources align. Coordination-detection has run. Composite credibility computed. Maps to a standing icon.

TIER 03 — E/4 BAND

Analyst-confirmed

A human verdict on the evidence chain. The confirmation is recorded — who made it, on what evidence, at what time. Final icon state.

03 — Why it matters

One language, end to end.

The ESC code system means the same information reads consistently whether it is on the globe, in a report, or in a briefing slide — without disambiguation at each step.

No ambiguity

Every icon on the map carries its full code. There is no version where "the red diamond" means different things in different theatres.

Provenance intact

The ESC code does not replace the evidence chain — it sits on top of it. Every code is traceable to the items that produced it.

Consistent across teams

New analysts read the same symbology as the team that built the picture. Institutional knowledge is baked into the system, not carried in people's heads.

Survives the handoff

When the picture moves from working analyst to commander to partner organisation, the code travels with it — and retains its meaning.

Audit-ready

Every icon state carries a timestamp and a confidence score. The picture is a timestamped record, not just a current view.

Human-readable

The code is terse but decodable without a lookup table for anyone trained on the standard. Its meaning does not rely on colour alone.
