CRIES — Coordinadora Regional de Investigaciones Económicas y Sociales

Our solutionsand data infrastructure.

We design, implement and scale technology ecosystems for civil society. Faced with shrinking civic space, our cloud-based infrastructure and tech-first methodologies ensure secure collection, rigorous analysis and visualisation of critical data.

SALW Analytics Dashboard:open-access data intelligence

Our flagship platform centralises and processes massive volumes of data on armed violence and arms proliferation. Built on a highly scalable cloud architecture, the dashboard turns raw data into actionable insights.

We give researchers, journalists and decision-makers a real-time, interactive, openly accessible analytical interface, removing technical barriers to research in the Global South.

  • Interactive, real-time data visualisation.
  • Verified sources and transparent methodology.
  • Highly available cloud-native infrastructure.

OSINT operations and secure data pipelines

Information in closed regimes or highly conflictive areas is asymmetric. We deploy advanced open-source intelligence (OSINT) protocols to identify, extract and structure data remotely and safely.

We build data pipelines (processing flows) that audit and verify information, ensuring methodological rigour and protecting the identity and safety of sources in the field.

Impact: Overcoming state censorship and mitigating operational risk through non-intrusive data collection.

AI-powered early warning systems (EWS)

We move from reactive analysis to strategic prevention. We implement machine learning and artificial intelligence models to detect patterns of escalating violence and institutional crises before they occur.

Our AI for Good tools process complex variables to issue precise early warnings, enabling international organisations and local governments to design crisis mitigation strategies based on objective evidence.

Impact: Anticipatory crisis management, strategic communications and efficient deployment of peace resources.
