SONAR

One workbench with two sides: a panel of economic operators measured with the same metre, and a daily observation of the world they operate in. SONAR is owned by STAIRS Srl and made available to Istituto ISR and to the BSR Observatory.

SONAR: international regulatory pressure
Regulatory pressure — the acts of the day, the register they enter and the countries they reach.
The panel

Many companies, one metre

An advisor who follows fifty companies has fifty spreadsheets and no way to compare them. SONAR gives each operator the same position, computed the same way, and keeps the history of every change.

What each operator carries

  • Geopolitical and geoclimatic exposure, by country and by process area
  • Legal responsibility and the state of its organisational model
  • Disturbance and regulatory pressure on the countries it depends on
  • Supply chain, with the countries behind the suppliers
  • The history of assessments: who decided what, and when

What the advisor gets

  • Comparison across the whole portfolio, on figures built identically
  • Coverage stated for every figure: how much of the company it actually describes
  • Reports written for four different readers, from the board to the auditor
  • A dossier that survives a change of consultant, because the metre is written down
The observatory

What the world did today

Every day SONAR collects public sources — press, official journals and registers, climate and conflict data — computes the indices from them, and leaves the evidence attached to each figure. Nothing is summarised away: the reading and the numbers stay separate.

SONAR: the world today
The world today — attention on public sources and the places cited by the day's reading, side by side and never summed.
SONAR: the climate frame
The climate frame — the background against which the events of the day are read. It is not an index.

The weekly bulletin of the BSR Observatory is built from these panels and published by Istituto ISR, signed and deposited with a DOI. The record →

The engine

Intelligence that stays where it is put

SONAR and TRAMA 360 run on a local engine, petrus_ulyxes. It reads documents and proposes; it does not decide and it does not compute the figures.

The engine has no tools, no shell and no network of its own. It listens only on the machine it runs on, with a single conversation at a time and a fixed context. Client documents never leave that machine.

  • It reads, it does not write numbers. Every figure comes from published arithmetic.
  • It has no way out. No external calls, no side effects, nothing to execute.
  • A person signs. A proposal becomes a record only when a professional accepts it.
  • The choices are written down. The book petrus_ulyxes — Intelligence under control describes the architecture and its declared limits.
Who uses it

Advisors, audit teams, researchers

Advisory firms

Firms that follow many companies and need one comparable method across all of them, with figures they can defend in front of a client's board.

Internal audit and compliance

Teams that must show how a conclusion was reached, on which sources, and under which version of the metre.

Research

The BSR Observatory of Istituto ISR, which publishes the indices and the weekly bulletin built on this platform.
