Our Risk Event Definitions represent a specific classification that we apply to news to extract events. Each definition is intended to describe a specific kind of concrete event that might happen. The goal is to find objective evidence of actions happening in the world, and avoid general discussion and speculation.

Event definitions can be used for both filtering [Risk Events][] and computing [Risk Scores][].
