Coverage and methodology
Parapet licenses news from 120,000 publishers in 38 languages. Entity recognition matches articles to companies using names, locations and identifiers, and a classifier assigns risk categories. Hits with severity 4 or 5 are reviewed by an analyst before release. Coverage of individuals is limited to people in public roles; private individuals are excluded, and allegations are labelled as allegations until an official outcome is reported. The dataset is intended for regulated due diligence and supplier risk, not for screening employees, tenants or consumers.
