Opponent names are only the start

Useful opposition monitoring includes nicknames, committees, donors, allied groups, offices, districts, and issue frames.

  • Opponent and committee names
  • Allied group and PAC references
  • Issue and district language

Context matters

A broad keyword by itself should not create panic. SENTINEL weighs candidate context, geography, title matches, and source quality.

Example workflow

From mention to next step

Step 1

Monitor the right terms

Track candidate names, opponents, committees, local issues, offices, districts, and source-specific terms.

Step 2

Route by urgency

Keep low-confidence mentions in the dashboard, send standard clips by email or Slack, and reserve SMS for relevant critical alerts.

Step 3

Move to response

Give the campaign a clear view of what changed, why it matters, and what to do next.
