Capability combines predictive modeling, open-source intelligence, and human expertise to give leaders early warning of emerging geopolitical risks

WASHINGTON, Oct. 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Redpoint Advisors, a leading global intelligence company, today launched the Redpoint Instability Forecasting Tool (RIFT) – a new AI-enabled platform that helps organizations anticipate political, social, and security instability in markets around the world.

RIFT gives business and government leaders an early view of emerging risks to their people, investments, and operations. It assesses current instability in more than 50 countries, forecasts the likelihood of an unusual surge in conflict or protest activity during the next 14 days, and shows the evidence behind every assessment. Users can then explore the developments driving risk, read weekly thematic reports, and ask targeted questions that return referenced analysis.

“Organizations increasingly need insight that goes beyond telling them what is already happening,” said Matthew Bockner, CEO of Redpoint Advisors. “RIFT helps leaders see instability building and make better-informed decisions before events affect their people, operations, or investments. The platform combines leading-edge technology with deep human intelligence expertise.”

The week before launch offered two examples of the power of RIFT. On Thursday, October 8, RIFT’s Protest Forecast flagged India for an unusual rise in protest activity. Using RIFT, analysts traced the forecast to its drivers: a planned mass mobilization in New Delhi by the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) demanding the resignation of the Chief Election Commissioner. This resulted in the police denial of protest permits and the deployment of roughly 23,000 security personnel.

During the same period, RIFT’s Conflict Forecast rated Saudi Arabia “Critical” and rising, a rare reading for a country with a low baseline of violence. On October 10, Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthi rebels launched a ballistic missile attack against the international airport in Riyadh.

“In about sixty seconds, I was able to identify the key drivers behind RIFT’s New Delhi forecast, which was a planned mass mobilization, denied permits, and a massive security deployment,” said Chris Ringenbach, Managing Director of Geopolitical Risk at Redpoint Advisors. “RIFT tells you where to look and shows you why before the headlines do.”

RIFT was developed by Redpoint Advisor’s subsidiary, VoxCroft Analytics, through years of work with U.S. military and intelligence elements, delivering forecasts at greater than 80 percent accuracy. The platform combines market-leading models with open-source intelligence curated by Redpoint Advisor’s global network of intelligence professionals who validate inputs using NATO-standard reliability grading and enhance timeliness with community-sentiment sources. The models are retested weekly to enhance accuracy.

RIFT is the latest AI-driven capability Redpoint Advisors has introduced following its acquisition of VoxCroft Analytics, Inc. in May 2026. The acquisition combined Redpoint Advisors’ human expertise in intelligence, banking, legal, and regulatory matters with VoxCroft’s AI-powered capabilities for analyzing hyperlocal social, political, and security dynamics, including in difficult-to-access and frontier markets.

RIFT is available now to individuals, corporations, and government agencies. Learn more at redpointadvisors.com/rift.
