Every capability, in detail.

For any location on the itinerary, Argus Advance assembles a threat assessment with an explained threat level and a score, then layers the situational picture around it — the areas a detail actually needs to know about before the principal arrives. Every zone is backed by source-cited evidence the team can open and check.

• Threat level & score, with the basis explained — not a number in a vacuum
• Hot zones & elevated-risk areas mapped around the venue and route
• Situational picture — protests, encampments, nuisance and high-danger areas
• Crime picture — incident counts and types and how they compare with the surrounding baseline
• Counter-surveillance notes for the arrival zone

Getting the principal in and out is the heart of the advance. Argus Advance lays out the way in and the way out for each leg, draws them on the map, and lets the team adapt as conditions change.

• Primary, alternate, emergency-extraction, and avoid routes for each leg
• Ingress and egress for the arrival zone, with corridors to avoid
• Regenerate or roll back alternates as conditions change
• Trace any route on the map and focus a single leg

Each venue gets a structured site assessment an advance team can walk from — the physical-security picture organized the way a professional advance is organized, with published imagery so the team can see the place before they stand in it.

• Access, drop-off, covered approach, egress and shelter-in-place
• Entry points, media staging and access limits near the principal
• Power, parking and loading, fire systems, evacuation routes
• Physical-security assessment depth across a repeatable, venue-type-aware matrix
• "Inside view" — draggable exterior and interior imagery, aerial, and map

Medical readiness is treated as a first-class part of the advance, not an afterthought. For every stop, Argus Advance locates the trauma care that matters and assesses how a detail would actually reach it under pressure.

• Nearest Level 1 & Level 2 trauma centers, hospitals and clinics, with capabilities
• ED / ICU ingress — the entrance and approach a detail would use, with an aerial line-of-sight check
• Dedicated medical-facility advance checklist — screening, command-center, physician/access details
• Police, fire and EMS response context
• Pre-staged response plans — trauma, active-threat, and cardiac events

Assessments are assembled from multiple live sources and, crucially, show their work — every conclusion links back to the source so the team can check it, not just trust it. The live picture can be refreshed for any stop on demand.

• Federal alerts and open-source intelligence
• A law-enforcement signal and an estimated dark-web signal
• Social-media chatter, news, and geofenced events
• Clickable citations back to the source, at the foot of the report
• Refresh live intel for a stop on demand as the picture develops

The advance doesn't just inform the trip — it produces the record. Field work becomes attributed proof, and at close-out the whole trip compiles into documents you can hand to a supervisor or keep for review.

• Evidence capture per checklist item — a verified image, a photo, or a voice/typed note
• Append-only attributed trip ledger — who did what, and when
• Self-writing after-action compiled from the verified record
• Supervisory pre-movement briefing, exported to PDF with a point-in-time stamp
• Prior validated advances carry forward to the next visit

Starting a trip is as simple as dropping in an itinerary. From there the platform builds the stops, runs the assessment, and stands ready to answer the questions teams actually ask — grounded in that specific trip.

• Drop in an itinerary (including a PDF) → stops build and assess automatically; or add stops by hand
• Pre-walk checklist guides the advance venue by venue
• Saved and recallable — a session library of every advance, resumable where you left off
• Trip-grounded assistant — "what's the egress at the hotel?", "nearest Level-1 trauma?" answered in plain language

A principal-and-trip profile tunes what the tool watches for — keyword identifiers bound to each stop's location and timing, working with the detail's own pseudonyms so the profile stays effective while the principal's identity stays protected. Today the team refreshes the live picture on demand; the continuous, always-on watch loop that pushes alerts as conditions change is rolling out.

• Profile-tuned watch terms, bound per stop and under a protected name — live today
• On-demand live-intel refresh for any stop — live today
• Continuous automatic monitoring & alerts as conditions change — rolling out
