What IDEI Is

Not a research firm.
An intelligence operating system.

Most Iran intelligence is slow, shallow, or inaccessible. IDEI is built differently — combining systematic monitoring, AI signal extraction, and in-market analyst expertise to produce intelligence that arrives when decisions are being made.

01

Monitor

Continuous coverage across Persian and English language sources — news, filings, regulatory announcements, market signals — mapped to a structured entity universe of Iran's digital economy.

02

Extract

AI models process the monitored feed to identify entities, events, and market-moving signals. In-market analysts verify, contextualize, and enrich — adding the regional judgment models can't provide.

03

Deliver

Decision-ready intelligence: sector briefs, company profiles, custom watchlists, and rapid-response analysis — structured for fast consumption by investors, operators, and institutions.

Intelligence Workflow

How IDEI generates intelligence.

Every brief, profile, and alert follows the same five-stage workflow — designed to ensure accuracy, speed, and decision relevance.

01
Data Acquisition
Multi-source monitoring
Persian and English language news, company filings, regulatory announcements, and primary market sources — continuously ingested.
02
AI Extraction
Signal identification
Large language models process thousands of daily inputs — extracting entities, events, risks, and market-moving developments.
03
Prioritization
Noise reduction
Proprietary classification surfaces high-relevance intelligence. Low-signal noise is filtered before it reaches analysts.
04
Analyst Synthesis
Human verification
In-market analysts with regional expertise verify, contextualize, and enrich AI-extracted signals — adding interpretation that models cannot.
05
Intelligence Output
Decision-ready delivery
Structured briefs, sector reports, company profiles, and alerts — formatted for fast consumption and immediate application.

Methodology & Trust

Intelligence you can build decisions on.

Every signal IDEI surfaces has passed through a structured verification process. AI accelerates extraction and coverage — humans ensure accuracy, context, and interpretation. No brief leaves IDEI without analyst review.

01
Source Depth
Persian and English primary sources — including regulatory bodies, company filings, sector publications, and in-market contacts unavailable to external researchers.
02
AI + Human Hybrid Workflow
AI processes volume and speed. Analysts provide regional expertise, cultural context, and the interpretive judgment that models cannot replicate.
03
Decision Orientation
Intelligence is structured around decisions, not publications. Every output is framed around what it means for investors, operators, or institutions — not just what happened.
