Overview
Discovers and classifies significant corporate events across the entire tracked company universe, covering M&A activity, strategic partnerships, restructurings, and regulatory milestones. Multi-source discovery draws from diverse intelligence feeds to ensure comprehensive coverage, reducing the risk of missing events that only surface on niche or industry-specific channels. AI classification categorizes each event by type and assesses strategic significance on a five-point scale, separating routine announcements from genuinely transformative moments. For high-scoring events, the agent pre-generates talking points tailored to the nature of the event, giving consultants ready-made conversation starters without additional research. Events are delivered through the BD Radar briefing cycle, ensuring timely distribution to the Managing Directors whose portfolios are affected. This enables proactive outreach during the narrow window when a client or prospect is undergoing a major transition and is most receptive to strategic conversation. The combination of automated discovery, structured scoring, and pre-built talking points compresses hours of manual research into a single automated cycle. The result is that no significant corporate event across the tracked universe goes unnoticed or unacted upon.

How It Works
1
Company universe load
Pull the full company list from the intelligence hub. Each company record includes industry classification, tracked practice areas, and monitoring priority level.
2
Multi-source event discovery
Search for M&A announcements, strategic partnerships, restructuring plans, and regulatory actions across multiple intelligence sources. Discovery covers the full tracked company universe from the past cycle.
3
Full content extraction
Full article text is extracted from discovered URLs. Raw content is converted to clean structured text for downstream analysis, with metadata preserved for source attribution.
4
AI event classification
Categorize each event by type (M&A, partnership, restructuring, regulatory), assess strategic significance on a five-point scale, and generate recommended talking points for consultant outreach.
5
Intelligence hub delivery
Classified events are written to the intelligence hub with event type, significance score, talking points, and source URLs. High-impact events are flagged for BD Radar integration.

The Manual Alternative
Without this agent, catching and assessing significant corporate events across the tracked universe requires constant vigilance:
Research TaskManual EffortAutomated
Scan news for M&A, partnerships, restructurings1-2 hours per cycleMulti-source automated discovery
Assess strategic significance of each event15-20 min per eventAI-scored on 5-point scale
Draft talking points for consultant outreach20-30 min per eventPre-generated automatically
Match events to relevant Managing Directors15-20 minutesAutomatic MD matching
Distribute time-sensitive event intelligence20-30 minutesIntegrated into BD Radar cycle
Total manual effort per cycle: 3-5 hours. The real cost is not just time — it is the events that get missed entirely because no one was looking at the right source at the right moment.
