A very large part of their strategy is crowdsourcing named entity extraction. Basically, as you read a report, you hilight and tag all the entities of interest. It provides incredibly high quality entities and relationships on an enterprise ontology.

The problem is that it scales incredibly poorly. Imagine hilighting every person, phone number, location, etc. in a document. Then linking them all together manually. Then imagine having a few million documents you have to do that on. It's been an enormous problem at all the sites I've seen it deployed at.
