How do I research an organization on the DFC Wire?

Use Helsing’s DFC Wire record to check which organization you found and what its coverage count means. Follow the directory and record views step by step.

Which Helsing result should I open?

In Universe, search for Helsing and open its name. In the pictured record, the location reads Munich, Germany, and the description identifies a defense company working on AI software and autonomous systems. Check those identifiers before attaching a story to the organization.

The date beside the description tells you when that description was verified. Other fields can have different dates.

What does “5 stories” tell me?

The historical record shows five stories under On the Wire. That gives you five items of Wire coverage to investigate at the time of the screenshot. It gives no measure of how many contracts Helsing won. Likewise, the backer count describes firms, a different unit from stories or deals.

Where would I check a contract?

Follow recent coverage in the record or search the feed for Helsing. For an individual award, open Deals and check the buyer, supplier and source. Keep the dated organization record for identification and the award document for the contract claim.
