High-Value IP Tech Firms.

Track the online behavioral baseline of the people closest to your intellectual property. Receive alerts when meaningful departures warrants security review, counseling, or other support.

Recognize change in the people behind your IP.

Your most valuable research and engineering knowledge often resides with a small number of trusted employees. Cratylus tracks how those individuals express themselves and interact publicly online, establishing a personal behavioral baseline and flagging meaningful changes. A departure could warrant a closer look at an emerging insider risk—or a timely offer of counseling and support to someone your business depends on.

Establish what is usual. Notice what is different.

Cratylus builds a baseline of each key researcher, engineer, or technical leader’s public online language, tone, and interactions. It tracks departures from that history and alerts your team when a change requires attention. Human review connects the observed shift with the person’s job responsibilities and circumstances.

Build the personal baseline. Follow each key individual’s public online activity over time. Establish their usual patterns of communication and interaction as the basis for comparison.
Flag the departure. Alert your team to a meaningful change from that baseline so a reviewer can examine the public evidence and its relevance to the person’s role and access to valuable intellectual property.
Respond with support or investigation. A verified concern may call for counseling, employee assistance, or a conversation about workload and outside commitments. Evidence of misuse belongs in the security review process. Explained changes can be closed without further action.

What a departure from the baseline can look like

Illustrative changes for human review:

A sustained shift toward distress or workplace conflict. A researcher whose posts have followed a steady pattern begins repeatedly describing difficulty coping or escalating conflict at work. The change can prompt a private check-in and an offer of support without presuming misconduct.
A departure from usual confidentiality boundaries. An engineer who has kept unpublished work private begins posting internal benchmarks, designs, or claims of access to proprietary material. Reviewers can verify what changed and whether the disclosure was authorized.
Changing public commitments around the same technology. A new pattern of promoting outside work overlaps with a person’s confidential responsibilities. Compare it with their history and disclosed activities before deciding whether there is a conflict to resolve.

Earlier attention. A considered response.

The goal is to notice when a trusted person may need attention, while you still have time to help them or protect the business. A baseline alert starts that review; people determine its meaning and the appropriate response. A departure can reflect an ordinary change in circumstances, a need for support, or a developing security concern. The alert brings it to attention; an authorized reviewer verifies the context and determines the next steps. A behavioral change alone establishes neither harmful intent nor a need for counseling.

When trust is essential,
perspective is everything.
