What BuzzBaboon is not

This is not a news summary.
It is a consequence engine.

Most tools in this category hand you one source as a feed. BuzzBaboon joins the sources: the trade record, the award record and the week's developments, read against your company. It hands you the count and the reasons.

AI summarisersAny language model over a news feed
Compress the news, and can give a different answer each time you ask.
Same input, same output, every time. A published formula rather than a model, so every score can be reproduced and every match names what it matched.

Same input. Same output. Every time.

Relevance is deterministic set intersection over a controlled vocabulary, weighted 40 for capabilities, 30 for the sectors you serve, 18 for geography and 12 for the commercial trigger. The formula is published on the methodology page, and the scoring runs in your browser, so anyone can reproduce a score on any machine.

That matters to a buyer who has to justify a decision to a partner or a board. A number you can reproduce is a number you can defend.

What does the record say about your company?

BuzzBaboon is an intelligence discovery service, not a complete record of global events. It monitors selected public, licensed and third-party sources and uses automated systems to identify developments that may be relevant to your business. Coverage may be incomplete or delayed, sources may contain errors, and automated interpretation may be wrong. Verify material information against the original sources before making commercial, financial, investment, legal or operational decisions.
