This is a text book "political risk" management scenario.  And illustrates
the current tools available and commonly in use (phone, who you know,
recollections of past experiences, instinct, etc.)

And, as part of the text book case, the client is in denial, doesn't know
when to listen, improperly handicaps risk, is distracted on unimportant
items - which frustrates the professional trying to help a client that
typically cannot help themselves.

Image if we had an "elite mapping" of the decision makers across the
multiple agencies, Houston / Texas politics, etc.  Showing how this event
formed over the past 2-12 months, and identified other events starting to
form on the horizon.  And all the analytics that goes with it.

Would blow CAF or anyone else away.  And we show them the first look for
free, and then sign them up to a longer commitment if they want more (my
drug dealer approach - first one is free and then you're hooked)  This is
possible with Vide for sure, we just need the bandwidth from them.

I will show you the Cataphora "demo" application this afternoon and how it
analyzed my email, will help you visualize the types of things we could do
within the "political risk" areana.
