In other cases, one is looking for trouble even before one has found some. Compliance often falls into this category, as does web-crawling reputation management. One process, favored by Autonomy, is simply to monitor document flow for all important themes, and hope that the trouble signs jump out at you. Alternatively, one can monitor documents for known bad event flags – vehicle malfunctions, drug side effects, angry customers, whatever.
