There is no strict minimum length specified, but the text should be sufficiently long to reveal patterns across the various indicators—typically requiring at least several paragraphs rather than isolated sentences.

The current version of Dechefr supports English but we want to include more languages in the future.

Dechefr is available as both a SaaS solution and an on-premise deployment. The on-premise option enables organizations to manage classified or sensitive information securely, in full compliance with their internal policies and regulatory requirements.

We do not store any text submitted through the tool. However, analysis results are securely saved in your personal case archive to support case comparison and tracking. You have full control over your archive and can delete cases at any time—please note that once deleted, they are permanently removed and cannot be recovered.

Dechefr provides a comprehensive risk assessment framework composed of two key components: General Risk Level – an automatically generated level based on 37 distinct indicators. Analyst-Adjustable Indicators – a focused set of 8 critical indicators that can be manually reviewed, assessed, or modified by the analyst. While the General Risk Level offers an automated score, the adjustable indicators introduce flexibility for expert judgment. Dechefr supports this process by suggesting the presence or absence of each indicator, but the final determination rests entirely with the analyst. The eight analyst-adjustable indicators include:

Anger

-Expressions that indicate anger in the communication

Grievance

- Expressions that indicate grievance in the communication

Othering

- us versus them thinking

Leakage

- communication of intent to harm a specific target

Warrior mentality/military terminology

-Interest in weapons and military/police violence

Influences from previous offenders

- Interest/admiration for previous offenders and/or copycat behaviour

Preoccupation

- extreme occupation with a person or a cause

Linguistic alignment

- linguistic ques or other markers that indicates that the individal is influenced by an extreme ideology or a subculture
