1. A system configured to perform analytics to facilitate issue awareness comprising: at least one non-transitory, computer-readable storage medium on which a database management system is stored and configured to access an index of metadata corresponding to a set of content items related to at least one particular issue in a corpora of electronically stored content; at least one sub-system configured to generate at least one interactive graphical user interface (GUI) for display on a computer-based visual sub-system; at least one sub-system configured to receive a query request comprising at least one entity, the query request configured by a user in said interactive GUI, wherein: said query request includes a user-defined threshold; said at least one entity is associated with an entity profile comprising a set of tags, a supplier tier, a supplier tier weight, a supplier category, and a supplier category weight; and said set of tags in said entity profile are included in said query request; a computer machine configured to: receive said query request as computer machine input; search a set of metadata tags stored in said index for at least one term contained in said query request; identify a set of metadata tags which match said query request; identify at least one document, in said corpora, which is associated with said set of metadata tags; calculate a content score for each document identified in the previous step; when said content score exceeds said user-defined threshold: surface said document; calculate a summary score for a set of documents surfaced in the previous step based on the content scores associated with said documents, wherein said summary score averages said content scores for said set of surfaced documents for each of said at least one entity; and display a second interactive user interface to communicate said summary score wherein said second interactive user interface is configured to display each summary score in a grid and permit a user to click through said summary score to reveal a set of documents from which said summary score was derived; calculate a tier score by averaging said summary scores for all entities assigned to a given tier; calculate a weighted tier score for said given tier by applying said supplier tier weight; and calculate a supplier category score by selecting a maximum score associated with a supplier within a given supplier category and applying a supplier category weight.
