Argus×Your name

Your deployment. Your taxonomy. Your name on it.

A co-deployment, not a product. When a client signs an Argus × agreement they get a named instance — Argus × [Client] — with all four modules, every region, a topic framework built around their work, and a dedicated engineer on-site for the first ~30 days.

02 · Included

Everything modular Argus ships, plus what only ships here.

Argus × includes every module, every region, and the whole Argus engine. On top of that it ships a layer of custom, dedicated and co-branded work that does not appear in any modular price list.

03 · Engagement

30 days. Five phases. Live before the second sitting week.

Every Argus × engagement is led by a pair of engineers who work alongside your team for the first 30 days. They build to your topic framework and ship a named instance ready for production by the end of it. Custom features keep arriving after launch.

Phase 01Days −7 to 0

Scoping

Workshop your taxonomy, audiences, jurisdictions and additional markets. The final deployment spec is signed by your sponsor and ours.

Phase 02Days 1 – 7

Tenant + branding

Your branded Argus × [Client] workspace is stood up — in your own cloud, or on infrastructure Argus provides (AWS or GCP) if you’d rather we run it. Co-branding configured; your taxonomy mapped to the structure.

Phase 03Days 8 – 18

Dashboard build

A bespoke dashboard designed and shipped to your workflow. Daily reviews with you. Your data, your views.

Phase 04Days 19 – 28

Hardening

Custom feature builds against any blockers. Audit logging, single sign-on and access tiers configured. Testing against your live workflow.

Phase 05Days 29 – 30

Cutover

Live. Your named engineering contact takes over. The onboarding pair rotates out; the continuous-build channel stays open.

04 · Taxonomy

Your topic framework, shipped to production.

Core ships with a default set of topics. In Argus × you bring your own — nested, multi-language, mapped to the framework your analysts already use. IPAC’s 12-category framework is the reference; yours can be anything.

Built for institutions that need to get it right.

Argus is sold to parliamentary research services, foreign-affairs ministries and accredited civil-society institutions. We do not run self-serve trials — we run a 60-day paid pilot against your real workflow, with a named engineer on the account from day one.
