The problem

Understanding a conflict meant reading everything.

For decades, peacebuilders have worked through assessment frameworks to make sense of conflict. Keeping up with the key actors, and mapping how they relate, was slow work done by hand, and out of date the moment it was finished.

New tools make that work accessible. Stability Operations is one, built for this community.

Find the sources, read them, map who matters, write it up, cite it. Then do it again when things change.

What changed

The same frameworks, drafted from the evidence.

Pick the framework you already use. Stability Operations works through it section by section, drawing on lessons-learned documents, evaluations and field reports, and marks every claim with its source. You keep the judgement; it does the reading.

The draft is saved as an analysis you can return to, share with your team, and discuss in the margins.

How you check it

Every claim shows its working.

Sourced

Each claim names its source.

Answers cite the documents they draw on, and you can open the passage behind each claim to read it in context.

Graded

You see how much weight it bears.

Documents in the curated library carry a quality tier, shown wherever they are cited.

  • Primary
  • Vetted
  • Contextual

Honest about gaps

Or it tells you it doesn't know.

When the evidence doesn't support a credible answer, it says so instead of inventing one.

Next: actor networks

In development

A growing network map of key actors.

Key actor network graphs map the people and groups in a conflict and how they relate, and stay current as new reporting comes in. Every link rests on ground evidence: a verbatim quotation from a named source, never an inference.
