Humanitarian data,
without the silos.

PRISM brings together 40+ authoritative datasets and 25 live API feeds — from OCHA, ACLED, IDMC, OECD DAC and more — into one open platform. Track crises, funding gaps and displacement as they unfold, and interrogate the same numbers humanitarian decision-makers do.

New · PRISM Analyst Beta

Ask the data, not the internet.

An AI analyst that answers from PRISM's live datasets and report archive — never from memory. Every figure is retrieved from a named source the moment you ask, every claim carries a linked citation, and every answer ends with the exact data queries it ran. When the data can't answer, it says so.

Numbers only from live data
Linked citations to source
Every answer reproducible
Cited briefs, exportable

Platform

Fourteen dashboards. One coherent view of global crisis.

Each module draws from the same live data lake, so funding, conflict, displacement and severity can be cross-read in a single session — not reconciled across a dozen tabs.
01 Severity

Composite severity across 74 crisis countries, scored weekly.

INFORM Risk, ACAPS severity and ACLED intensity rolled into one comparable index, with per-country trend lines back to 2021.
