The Problem


FIMI campaigns have outgrown the tools built to detect them

Foreign information manipulation and interference is no longer a broadcast problem. A coordinated campaign now starts on Telegram, is repackaged as short-form video for TikTok, spreads in the comment sections of Facebook groups, seeded into sympathetic news outlets, and amplified by networks of nominally independent accounts — across multiple languages, simultaneously. By the time it appears in a EUvsDisinfo report or a StratCom analyst's inbox, the operation has already achieved its objective.

The challenge is not awareness. StratCom teams know disinformation exists. The challenge is detection speed, attribution depth, and coverage. Most monitoring tools track keywords across text. Some identify static narratives. All of them miss video-native campaigns entirely. They detect volume spikes after they happen, not coordination patterns before they peak. And they tell you what's being said — not who is behind it or how the operation is structured.

The result: StratCom teams are documenting campaigns that have already succeeded, rather than disrupting them while they're still forming.

Repsense gives you the detection and attribution capability to change that.

Use cases

Built for the threats defence teams face today

FIMI Campaign Detection & Attribution


Detecting that disinformation exists is not enough. StratCom teams need to know who is behind it, how the operation is structured, and where it is heading.

Repsense identifies coordinated inauthentic behaviour at the structural level — synchronised posting patterns, cross-platform content seeding, and identical material distributed through nominally independent sources. The platform doesn't just flag suspicious volume. It maps the architecture of the operation: which accounts and outlets are distributing the same content, how the amplification chain is structured, and whether the coordination pattern matches known FIMI tactics.

This is how Repsense detected the Suwalki Gap FIMI campaign three days before mainstream media coverage. The content volume was low — below any conventional alert threshold. But the coordination pattern was unmistakable: identical narratives seeded across Telegram channels and repackaged as TikTok videos in two languages. The platform attributed the campaign to a cluster of coordinated sources and issued an early warning with enough lead time for a StratCom response.

Attribution that holds up to scrutiny. Detection that happens before the operation peaks. Both in one platform.

Election & Democratic Process Protection


Elections are the highest-stakes information environment. Foreign and domestic actors target voter perceptions through coordinated campaigns that exploit the speed and scale of social media — and increasingly, short-form video. StratCom and election integrity teams need continuous situational awareness across every channel, in every relevant language, throughout the entire election cycle.

Repsense provides exactly this. During numerous elections - of which a most public case is 2025 Moldovan elections, the platform deployed a rapid-response intelligence dashboard covering broadcast television, online news, social media, and video content. The system tracked every major narrative in the information environment, identified which ones carried signatures of coordinated amplification, and distinguished organic public discourse from manufactured campaigns.

The critical insight came from bridging narrative intelligence with polling data: despite Russian-aligned narratives dominating social media volume, their actual impact on voter behaviour was significantly lower than the volume suggested. That distinction — between narrative dominance and real-world influence — is what allows StratCom teams to calibrate their response rather than overreact to manufactured noise.

Cross-Border Narrative Tracking


The most effective influence operations don't start where they end up. A narrative originates in Russian domestic media, crosses into Russian-language social media in the Baltics, is translated and repackaged for local audiences, and surfaces in European news outlets as if it were an organic story. By the time it reaches the target audience, the chain of origin is invisible to conventional monitoring.

Repsense tracks these cross-border narrative flows end to end. The platform monitors over 60,000 sources across 20+ languages and clusters content by narrative — not by platform, language, or geography. When the same narrative appears in Russian state media, Lithuanian Telegram channels, and German TikTok videos, the system connects them to the same cluster and maps the propagation path.

This capability powered Repsense's research for the European Parliament, which examined how Russian internal propaganda about EU institutions and politicians spreads from domestic Russian media into European information spaces. The study mapped the structural pathways — showing not just that narratives cross borders, but how, through which intermediaries, and at what speed.

Counter-Narrative Intelligence


Effective counter-communication requires more than monitoring what adversaries say. It requires understanding how their information systems work — how they adapt to setbacks, shift messaging under pressure, and exploit structural weaknesses in democratic information environments.

Repsense provides this analytical depth. The platform's research for the NATO Strategic Communications Centre of Excellence mapped the mechanics of Russia's adaptive propaganda system: how it responds to battlefield developments, redistributes messaging to maintain domestic and international support, and adjusts its information operations in response to Western countermeasures.

Critically, the research identified structural vulnerabilities in the system — points where the propaganda apparatus is least adaptive and most predictable. These are the type of insights that inform effective StratCom planning: not just what the adversary is saying today, but where their messaging system breaks under pressure and where counter-narratives are most likely to find traction.

Understanding the adversary's information architecture is the foundation of every effective StratCom response.

How it works

From raw information to decision advantage 

DEFINE

Scope the information environment. Define the narratives, threat actors, languages, and geographies relevant to your StratCom mission. Repsense configures continuous collection across Fine tune your data from continuous collection of millions data sources in 75+ languages and add additional media sources tailored to your operational requirements.

DETECT

The platform ingests over a million pieces of content per analysis period and clusters them into coherent narrative threads regardless of language, platform, or format. Each thread is scored for coordination, growth velocity, and structural behaviour. StratCom analysts see the narrative landscape as a structured, prioritised whole — not a feed of disconnected mentions.

TRACK

Three detection layers work simultaneously: emerging narrative detection flags new clusters as they form; coordination analysis identifies organised amplification and attributes it to source clusters; predictive alerts fire when a narrative's trajectory indicates it will reach virality, giving StratCom teams a response window before public visibility

ACT

Generate briefing-ready FIMI reports with source attribution, coordination evidence, propagation maps, and predicted trajectory. Export for integration into StratCom workflows, Rapid Alert System reporting, or EU/NATO institutional channels. A complete FIMI briefing is ready in minutes, not days.

Evidence

Proven in live StratCom operations

Lithuania — FIMI Early Warning at Kapčiamiestis


In 2024, Repsense detected a coordinated FIMI campaign targeting the Lithuanian border town of Kapčiamiestis at its earliest amplification stage — three days before the narrative reached mainstream media. The platform identified coordinated content seeding across Telegram and TikTok in multiple languages, attributed the campaign to a cluster of synchronised sources, and issued an early warning with actionable attribution evidence.

The operation was detected not by volume — which was still low — but by coordination pattern. This is the difference between monitoring tools that count mentions and intelligence platforms that analyse the structure of information operations.

Moldova — Election Narrative Intelligence


During the 2024 Moldovan elections, Repsense deployed full-spectrum narrative monitoring across broadcast, online, social, and video — delivering real-time intelligence on the information environment surrounding a contested democratic process.

The platform's integration of narrative data with opinion polling revealed a strategic insight that reshaped StratCom assessment: Russian-aligned narratives appeared to dominate the information environment by volume, but their measurable impact on voter behaviour was significantly lower than the noise suggested. This distinction enabled more calibrated, evidence-based StratCom responses — avoiding the trap of amplifying adversary narratives by overreacting to manufactured volume.

NATO StratCom COE — Mapping Russia's Adaptive Propaganda System


Repsense conducted analytical research for the NATO Strategic Communications Centre of Excellence, mapping how Russia sustains domestic and international support for its war effort through adaptive information operations. The research, to be published on the NATO StratCom COE website, identified the structural mechanics of Russia's propaganda system — how messaging shifts in response to battlefield setbacks and Western countermeasures — and pinpointed structural vulnerabilities with direct operational relevance for StratCom practitioners.

This is the analytical depth the platform delivers: not just what adversaries are saying, but how their information systems work and where they break.

European Parliament & International Research


Repsense's cross-border narrative tracking has been applied beyond European StratCom contexts. Published research includes a study for the European Parliament examining how Russian domestic propaganda about EU institutions and politicians propagates into European information spaces, and analysis of Chinese propaganda operations targeting Philippine online media (published by the Philippines Star). Both studies demonstrate the platform's ability to map narrative flows across languages, borders, and platforms at scale.

Why repsense

What sets Repsense apart 

  • Most tools tell you disinformation exists. Repsense tells you who is behind it. Source-level attribution with coordination evidence — duplicate content ratios, synchronisation patterns, cross-platform amplification chains — that holds up in StratCom briefings and institutional reporting.

  • Adversaries have moved to video. Coordinated TikTok campaigns, YouTube disinformation, and broadcast propaganda are invisible to text-based monitoring. Repsense performs full content analysis of video — speech-to-text, narrative classification, coordination detection — across platforms and languages, at scale.

  • FIMI campaigns don't respect borders or language boundaries. Repsense tracks narratives across 75+ languages and maps cross-border propagation paths from origin to target audience. The same narrative is connected whether it appears in Russian state media, a Lithuanian Telegram channel, or a German TikTok video.

  • The platform detects information operations by their structural behaviour, not just their content. Coordination patterns, amplification velocity, and structural signatures are identified early — giving StratCom teams a response window before the operation reaches mainstream visibility. Proven in the Kapčiamiestis case: three days before the social spread and two weeks before mainstream media.

  • Designed for EU and NATO institutional contexts. European data sovereignty, GDPR compliance, and deep understanding of the European information environment.

Detect earlier. Attribute faster. Respond before the narrative takes hold.
