| All data has hidden meanings, patterns, and trends, but identifying
them is a challenge that only advanced automated analysis can
address. Sentinel TMS offers some of the most sophisticated
analytic capabilities available. |
 |
With Sentinel TMS Automated Analysis you can:
- Automatically identify central players
- Locate organizational cut-points
- Perform timeline analysis
- Organize complex data relationships into cells and cliques
- Include your own metadata in the analysis process
- Find all paths, the shortest path, or the best paths between two
entities
- Build simple or complex models that mirror your mission's
parameters
 Threat
Network Metrics
Sentinel TMS includes Threat Network Metrics—our advanced
technology for identifying, grouping, and ranking complex inter-related
data. With a foundation in Social Network Analysis (SNA), our system
provides the ability to rank centrality, threat level, and other
key metrics even within large complex datasets. But unlike other SNA-based
systems, Threat Network Metrics extends the analysis model by
assigning specific meaning and weighting that models your data and
mission.
The
Big Picture
Threat Network Metrics are generated as a set of sortable
numbers—you can quickly see central or highly connected players in a
network. Sentinel TMS takes this capability to the next level with
Gradient Metrics—the ability to automatically
apply numeric rankings to the visual appearance of the network.
You can specify colors for low and high values, and Sentinel TMS does
the rest. This feature makes it easy to visually acquire meaning in
even the most complex inter-related data.
Temporal Analysis
Sentinel TMS provides a powerful Time Range interface that hides
or shows data based on a time slider control. Temporal Analysis
makes it easy to see how networks form, change, and interact with
each other over time. This capability allows you to spot patterns and predict
actions and behaviors. The Time Range interface supports ranges down
to the second level, and includes the ability to visually define time
spans and ranges.
 Granular
Control through Tuning
All information is not equal, just as all objects and all links
between objects are not equal. While traditional link analysis fails to take
this into account, Sentinel TMS Automated Analysis provides you with
unprecedented accuracy through weighting. Sentinel TMS gives you the ability to accurately
model simple or complex systems by specifying the weight of entity and
relationship types, information credibility, and a variety of other
parameters.
Finding
Paths
How are things connected? What connection paths do people work
through? What is the shortest or best path between two data
elements? Sentinel TMS provides a variety of tools that make it easy
for you to answer such questions. With highly optimized graph
algorithms, you can quickly see all paths, the shortest path, or
only the best paths between entities based on your specific
criteria.
Key
Nodes, Cliques, and Cells
By analyzing the results of network statistics, Sentinel TMS
provides additional tools that help you find meaning in your data.
Sentinel TMS pinpoints and provides a visual representation of cells
or cliques: groups of entities within a network that are closely
connected to each other. Sentinel TMS also locates and displays
cut-points, or entities whose removal would seriously disrupt or completely destroy
the link between sub-groups.
