Real-Time Crisis Detection on Live SERP & Multi-Channel Event Streams
High-throughput Redis event pipelines for continuous brand sentiment analysis and automated crisis mitigation playbooks at Concept PR.
Engineered for Concept PR (India) & Rantau PR (Malaysia) for premier multinational clients.
Continuous Stream Bus
SERP API and multi-channel social web scrapers publish unstructured raw post events directly to Redis Pub/Sub queues.
Heuristic Filter
Sub-millisecond keyword and regex heuristics discard 95% of neutral mentions, preventing downstream LLM cost explosions.
Velocity Anomaly Trigger
When negative velocity spikes beyond $3.5\times$ moving baseline, deep LLM inference triggers automated crisis playbooks.
The Problem: Detecting Brand Inflection Points Before Mainstream Saturation
Detecting a brewing brand crisis requires parsing millions of unstructured search and social posts across multiple languages and geographies. Traditional batch scraping was too slow, while full LLM inference across every raw headline was financially non-viable.
High-Throughput Streaming Event Pipeline
The EBIC.ai ingestion system uses a tiered filtering hierarchy to balance speed, cost, and predictive accuracy:
- ›Continuous SERP API and web scraping ingestion workers that distribute raw post streams into Redis Pub/Sub.
- ›Fast heuristic sentiment filter that discards 95% of neutral mentions with near-zero latency.
- ›Targeted LLM analysis triggered only when sentiment velocity breaches statistical anomaly thresholds.
- ›Automated crisis alert dispatch notifying senior communications directors with generated mitigation playbooks.

return velocity > (baseline * threshold)Key Takeaways & Architectural Insights
- 01Stream processing with Redis allows early heuristic filtering, preventing expensive downstream LLM compute waste.
- 02Statistical velocity metrics (rate of sentiment change) are far more predictive of public crises than absolute negative volume.
