Relying on vanity metrics like "estimated reach" is a gamble you shouldn't have to take in 2026. From our latest acquisition to platform-wide innovations, we’ve been focused on four key areas to help improve your reputation & risk intelligence workflow:

  1. Replacing guesswork with verified readership data
  2. Streamlining how you search for insights
  3. Expanding our premium global content
  4. Helping you better understand your risk exposure

Here is a look at what's been happening at Signal AI over the last quarter.

Signal AI Acquires Memo: The "Holy Grail" of Readership Insights

We’ve acquired Memo, the world’s only platform providing direct, article-level readership data from publishers. With Memo's unique metrics and our AIQ-powered insights, you can now move beyond "estimated reach" to see the actual impact and traction of your earned media and reputational threats.

Don’t take our word for it, see the power of this data in Memo’s State of Media & Readership report.

Precision Search Made Simple

Our new “Custom Logic” update eliminates the need for complex nested searches. You can now build multiple AND/OR groups, mixing organizations, keywords, and products seamlessly to see your entire search logic in a single, easily auditable view.

Expanding Our APAC Intelligence with Nikkei Asia

Through a first-of-its-kind data mining agreement with Nikkei Asia, we’re bringing you premium, behind-the-paywall reporting from APAC’s most trusted business news source. By integrating their expert coverage directly into Signal AI, we provide the deeper insights you need to shape strategy across key markets like Japan, China, and Southeast Asia.

Launching Risk Proximity

Simply knowing a risk exists isn't enough; you need to know how fast it's moving and how close it is to your doorstep. We’ve launched Risk Proximity to help risk leaders answer two critical questions with precision:

  • What risks are on the horizon? ​​​​​The dashboard tracks risk momentum globally or by selected countries, identifying which threats are accelerating or increasing in intensity. By monitoring the "Momentum" score of specific risks, such as trade policy changes or labor strikes, you can visualize the trajectory of a threat before it becomes a crisis.
  • Which risks are most relevant to me? Understand your true exposure across your entire ecosystem with three unique proximity layers:
    • Direct: Identifies events mentioning your organization directly;
    • Adjacent: Tracks events mentioning the closest entities to your brand, mapped by our AI through frequent co-mentions;
    • Horizon: Monitors events mentioning your closest countries, providing a wide-angle view of geographical risks.

The power of Risk Proximity lies in its ability to move from a bird's-eye view to a deep dive in seconds. Once a high-momentum risk is identified, you can expand the event type to see exactly which industries, countries, and entities are driving the surge.

By analyzing the specific events and entities involved, your team can build a mitigation plan based on real-time signals, allowing you to act before the risk impacts you. Learn more about our risk intelligence platform here.
