Track Any Entity Across the Intelligence Cycle

14-day mention timelines, automatic trend detection, and peak analysis for any entity across 18 verticals. Built for AI agents and analysts.

Every news story involves entities — people, companies, countries, technologies. But knowing that “NVIDIA” appeared in a headline today isn't useful. Knowing that NVIDIA mentions jumped 300% this week, peaked on Tuesday, and are now falling — that's intelligence.

Polaris now tracks entity mention timelines across a 14-day window with automatic trend detection.

What You Get

For any entity, Polaris shows:

14-Day Timeline

Daily mention counts showing how coverage evolves. A spike on Tuesday followed by a decline tells a different story than steady growth all week.

Trend Direction

Automatically classified as Rising, Falling, or Stable based on recent momentum vs the previous period.

Peak Detection

The highest single-day mention count in the window. Useful for identifying when a story broke and how quickly it spread.

Related Briefs

Every brief that mentions the entity, with confidence scores, bias analysis, and counter-arguments.

Example: Tesla

Trend: Falling

Peak: 20 mentions (March 7)

Current: ~3 mentions/day

That tells you the Tesla story cycle from last week is cooling down. An agent monitoring Tesla would know to deprioritize it and shift attention to rising entities.

Use It in Your Agent

python
from veroq import PolarisClient

client = PolarisClient(api_key="demo")

# Get entity timeline + briefs
result = client.entity_briefs("NVIDIA")
print(f"Trend: {result.trend}")
print(f"Peak: {result.peak} mentions")

for day in result.timeline:
    print(f"  {day['date']}: {day['mentions']} mentions")

# Alert on rising entities
trending = client.trending_entities(limit=10)
for entity in trending:
    data = client.entity_briefs(entity.name)
    if data.trend == "rising":
        print(f"ALERT: {entity.name} is rising")

Combine with Trending Entities

The real power is combining timelines with the trending endpoint. Your agent can:

  1. Check trending entities every hour
  2. Fetch timelines for each
  3. Alert only on entities that are both trending AND rising
  4. Ignore entities that peaked days ago and are now falling

That's the difference between “here's what's in the news” and “here's what's about to matter.”
