Example: Corporate risk manager needs to understand possible currency exchange trends

Challenge: The world's economy is in a state of extreme turbulence. Tens of thousands of weekly news articles provide signals to global economic trends and the likely impacts these trends will have on currency values. It is extremely difficult to "connect the dots" amongst all the news signals as part of anticipating market trends.

News Radars start as a massive article collection system for news about economic trends and potential currency valuation trends. Once the articles are collected, a risk manager can quickly interact with News Radar displays to discover news articles as part of possible market trends out of thousands of related market articles. Risk managers can use the Market Track layer to make their own predictions about trends and track both supporting and refuting articles over time.

Clicking through News Patterns displays allows users to access relevant articles out of thousands of other candidate articles.
