Mission-Critical Trust

Security managers at 250,000+ analyst accounts couldn't trust what Dataminr delivered. There was no way to preview changes before they went live, no visibility into what configurations were active, and no way to verify that content hadn't drifted. Errors reached analysts in the field — the people making high-stakes decisions in real time.

Public sector stakeholders resisted user research, making it difficult to surface the real problem. The roadmap was being planned around dashboard management features that weren't what users needed.

Dashboard management wasn't the priority. The real pain was trusted content assignment at scale: the ability to know that the right information was reaching the right analysts, consistently and verifiably. Discovery sessions with resistant stakeholders shifted the entire roadmap once the evidence was in front of them.
