Inside the Profile
Risk Register Quantification
For each priority, we map external evidence to your register - severity, velocity, and trajectory - so your scores are defensible.
Triage & Recommendations
Act, monitor, or deprioritise, with rationale suitable for leadership and Audit Committee discussion.

Peer and Industry Benchmarking
Separate company-specific exposure from sector headwinds using a defined peer set.
Predictive Risk Modelling
We identify risks forming in the external environment and model their likelihood of future impact, specific to your business.
How It Works
Share Your Register
Upload your register or share your Tier 1 risks. We map external risk intelligence to your categories and agree the peer set that matters to your business.
Quantification & Modelling
We turn live external data into metrics you can use in your risk framework: severity, velocity, relative exposure, root-cause drivers, and modelled likelihood. All with an audit trail to underlying sources.

Emerging & Predictive Risk Modelling

Our models show you what's forming tomorrow.
We analyse 17 years of risk event data to identify the early patterns of escalation, specific to your business and sector. When a risk is accelerating, we quantify its trajectory and model the likelihood of future impact before it reaches your committee agenda uninvited.
Every emerging risk comes with severity and velocity scoring, peer context, and a recommended response: act, monitor, or watch. All auditable. All traceable to source.
Assessing external risk alongside stock performance helps illustrate how shift in public trust, stakeholder expectations, and corporate narrative can translate into tangible market consequences.
Our Polecat API pulls from billions of data points to understand track what truly matters: real-world events. By condensing massess of real-time data into a scored event database, Polecat gives you the insight at the right level, without losing sight of the need for trust and provenance.
