How to read this card
The Status label (Stable/Elevated/Unstable/Critical) summarizes the published Index and recent context. The Index is higher-is-better; lower values generally mean less stable conditions. The one-line text lists current drivers.
Hover card metrics explained
- Index: published overall stability score; higher is better.
- Confidence: source and synthesis confidence.
- Geopolitical, Markets, Infrastructure, Hazards, Space Weather: risk-pressure subscores where higher means more pressure.
- Drivers: short phrases naming why the snapshot moved or what dominates context.
- Evidence: compact market/public-signal snippets.
- Updated: cached snapshot timestamp.
- Citations: public sources used by the snapshot; the UI may show only the first few titles.
What can make this status change?
- Broad public-signal deterioration across several domains.
- Market/commodity stress, cyber advisories, infrastructure incidents, hazards, or space-weather changes.
- Smoothing, movement caps, hysteresis, or shock overrides in scoring metadata.
Limitations
This is an informational synthesis, not official instruction or a prediction. It can be stale, incomplete, or affected by source availability.
Sources and update behavior
Global Stability is refreshed server-side and cached; the dashboard does not call AI inline for page traffic. Inputs can include live-like public signals and delayed/cited source pages.

FAQ
Is the Index higher-is-better?
Yes. The dashboard scoring metadata defines the published Index as higher-is-better while domain subscores are risk-pressure values where higher means more pressure.
