The Web-Based Affectedness Indicator (WAI) uses LLM technology to monitor how firms respond to economic disruptions in real-time through analysis of company websites.

• Analyzes text from over 5 million company websites to quantify disruption impact
• Provides early warning signals before traditional economic indicators
• Enables targeted intervention strategies during crises
• Enhances economic security by identifying vulnerable sectors and firms

This innovation strengthens economic security frameworks by providing immediate visibility into how shocks propagate through business ecosystems, helping policymakers deploy protective measures faster and more effectively.
