How it works

Turning community signals into actionable intelligence.

A single report can provide information. Multiple trusted and corroborated signals can create intelligence.

The WatchSpot process

Report. Verify. Prioritise. Alert. Respond. Learn.

WatchSpot brings together community reports, location information, supporting evidence and verification signals to create a clearer picture of what is happening.

1
REPORT

Users report incidents with location, descriptions, images, video and context.

2
VERIFY

Trust signals and AI-assisted analysis help assess report credibility.

3
PRIORITISE

Incidents are assessed by urgency, location, credibility and impact.

4
ALERT

Relevant users and partners receive timely, location-aware alerts.

5
RESPOND

Verified incidents can connect to participating response networks.

6
LEARN

Interactions reveal patterns, locations and response outcomes.

Trust at the centre

A richer picture built from multiple signals.

WatchSpot’s long-term differentiation lies in its trust and intelligence layer, helping people understand what is happening, where it is happening and how credible the information is.

Reporter Trust

Understanding the reliability of information sources over time.

Incident Corroboration

Identifying when multiple independent reports support the same incident.

AI-Assisted Verification

Helping identify duplicates, inconsistencies and suspicious reporting behaviour.

Location Intelligence

Understanding incidents in their geographic context.

Human Oversight

Ensuring important safety decisions are not dependent solely on automated systems.
