      • Relevance Detection: Filter out noise and surface only mentions truly relevant to your organization
      • Violent Rhetoric Detection: Flag mentions containing violent rhetoric or threatening language
      • Political Leaning Detection: Identify the political leaning or bias expressed in mentions
