Indexing Methodology

A structured framework for quantifying geopolitical risk through continuous multi-source monitoring, analytical judgment, and transparent scoring.

01

Data Collection & Verification

The index draws from multiple independent source categories on a continuous collection cycle. Raw inputs pass through relevance filtering, cross-source verification, and trust scoring before entering the analytical pipeline.

News & Media

Global wire services, specialist publications, and regional outlets — monitored continuously for material developments.

Maritime & Incident

Shipping advisories, maritime authority bulletins, and incident databases tracking physical disruptions in real time.

Market & Economic

Daily energy pricing, freight rate movements, and volatility indicators reflecting market perception of supply risk.

02

Composite Scoring Model

Four analytical branches scored independently into a single 0–100 composite, each balancing two components.

Recent Component

Severity and recency of discrete events, weighted by publisher trust tier and subject to temporal decay.

Persistent Component

Broader operating environment assessment — baseline tension, structural risk factors, and prevailing conditions.

03

Replayability & Audit

Every score we publish has a clear provenance. The full chain — from source data to published index — is preserved and version-stamped, giving our clients confidence that the intelligence they act on is consistent, reproducible, and grounded in evidence.

Score Traceability

Every published score links directly to the source observations and analytical judgments that produced it.

Historical Integrity

Past index values are never revised retroactively. The record reflects what was known at the time.

Methodology Versioning

Scoring rules and parameters are version-stamped on every record, so changes are explicit and auditable.

Source Preservation

Raw inputs are stored before any analytical processing begins. Source data is never modified after collection.

Built for the decisions that matter.

We tailor each engagement to the requirements of the organization.
