How to read this card
The Global Stability card is a cross-domain reading. The main Status label is Stable, Elevated, Unstable, Critical, or unavailable. The Index is published on a higher-is-better scale, while the domain subscores are risk-pressure scores where higher means more pressure.
The one-line text lists the most visible drivers so a user can tell whether the card is being influenced by geopolitics, markets, infrastructure, hazards, cyber, or space-weather context.
- Index: overall stability score; higher is better on the published card.
- Confidence: low, medium, or high confidence in the synthesis and available sources.
- Drivers: short phrases summarizing the public-signal categories influencing the reading.
- Updated: when the Global Stability reading was published/refreshed.
Hover card metrics explained
