Step 1 : The Smoke (The Reddit Spike)

In the digital world, every major corporate disaster starts with a "whisper" on a subreddit. Our pipeline doesn't just read these posts; it measures the heat of these posts.

When a parent posts about a new grooming scam or a player reports a massive hack, it creates a "Viral Spike." This is the moment the community identifies a danger. The company usually stays silent, publicly claiming everything is "under control." These posts on reddit could be scanned because of the architecture of reddit. Information in reddit is spread through rss feeds (hacktivist aaron schwartz).

Step 2: The Silent Reaction (The Greenhouse Pivot)

While the company's PR team is telling the news "nothing is wrong," their HR department is quietly panicking behind the scenes.

Our pipeline monitors Greenhouse—the software companies use to post new jobs. Suddenly, three days after your Reddit thread goes viral, we see the company post five new listings for "Trust & Safety Policy Manager" or "Senior Content Moderator." They aren't just "growing"—they are scrambling to put out the fire you started.

Scene 3: The "Scandal Lead Time" (The Smoking Gun)

This is the heart of the engine. We calculate the Lead Time: the exact number of days between your community’s outcry and the company’s first tangible action.

>$$L = T_{action} - T_{outcry}$$

If the community shouted for 14 days before the company even posted a job listing to fix the problem, that is 14 days of intentional negligence.

Scene 4: The Journalist's Weapon

When we hand this to a journalist, we aren't just giving them a "sad story." We are giving them a timeline of a cover-up. A headline that says "Kids are being scammed" is old news. A headline that says "Game Studio ignored 12 days of documented child safety warnings before quietly hiring emergency staff" is a front-page investigation.
