Data Ingestion & Cluster Verification
The FLT Ingestion Engine continuously crawls real-time wire services and verified open-source intelligence vectors. Our pipeline enforces a strict two-stage verification framework.
1. Fuzzy Deduplication
To prevent timeline contamination and redundant wire spam, all incoming headlines are passed through a token-overlap similarity matrix.
If an incoming event text scores a 90% or higher structural similarity match against an active node processed within the trailing 24 hours, the insert is rejected or appended as a minor context layer rather than generating a duplicate main card.
2. Cluster Integrity
News events are dynamically mapped to a shared cluster via a unique thread identification matrix.
A development will only anchor to a specific timeline thread if primary actors and specific target incidents share explicit context parameters.
