For engineering teams in regulated industries weighing a legacy requirements management tool against a custom-built alternative, Dotphoton’s experience is one of the clearest demonstrations that the custom-built path works well when it’s built on Grist. …
Within a few days of the terror attacks that killed nearly 3,000 people on Sept. 11, 2001,
FBI agents identified an important possible suspect: a middle-aged Saudi graduate student
who provided crucial help to two of the al-Qaida hijackers as they settled in San Diego early the year before.
The Saudi, Omar al-Bayoumi,
had since moved to England,
and he was arrested there at the FBI’s request.

train_terrorists: Madrid train bombing terrorists (2004)
A network of associations among the terrorists involved in the 2004 Madrid train bombing, as reconstructed from press stories after-the-fact. Edge weights encode four levels of connection strength: friendships, ties to Al Qaeda and Osama Bin Laden, co-participants in wars, and co-participants in previous terrorist attacks.
This network has 64 nodes and 243 edges.

Senator Chris Murphy said the Pentagon blocked him from a major US base in Qatar,
yet saw enough damage on the US embassy in Saudi Arabia to conclude that an Iranian strike would have been deadly had it happened during the day.
The Connecticut Democrat, who sits on the Senate foreign relations and appropriations committees,
described the destruction he witnessed in Riyadh as “extraordinary”

Grist’s custom widget framework, full API access, and self-hosting options give engineering teams the infrastructure to build requirements traceability systems on their own terms. https://www.getgrist.com/case-studies/how-…
The team was left looking for something that did not exist as a category: a self-hosted, extensible, engineer-friendly application that could handle structured requirements at scale and integrate with a custom document generation pipeline. https://www.…
