Global Intelligence System - Geopolitics Dashboard

GEOINT

Detail

Sources & Methodology

This dashboard combines a small number of live data feeds with manually-compiled reference snapshots and a few in-app derived metrics. Reference data reflects research compiled as of June 2026 and is not continuously updated — treat it as a snapshot, not a real-time feed, and verify anything decision-critical against the primary sources below before relying on it professionally.

Stability index (default heatmap)	Computed in-app from Freedom House + HDI, penalized for active conflict/sanctions — styled after (not equal to) real composite indices like the Fragile States Index (Fund for Peace), Global Peace Index (IEP), and World Bank Worldwide Governance Indicators' Political Stability estimate	Derived
Future-risk & election-outcome forecasts	Polymarket (real-money prediction market; price = aggregated trader-implied probability) — Global Shock Simulator plus 6 countries' Elections tabs (US, France, Brazil, Argentina, Colombia, New Zealand). Snapshotted on the date shown, not live-polled by this page	Reference
Global Shock Simulator impact figures	Bloomberg Economics, Lloyd's List, IMF PortWatch, CSIS, Everstream Analytics (see citations within each scenario)	Reference

Known Limitations

Conflict severity is an editorial judgment call based on scale, casualties, and displacement — not an official index. Cross-check against ACLED or UCDP for rigorous conflict analysis.
Nuclear warhead counts are public estimates; actual figures are classified by every nuclear-armed state.
The "Red Button" missile visualization is a stylized illustration only — line counts and target sets are simplified for clarity and performance, not real targeting data or military doctrine.
Overseas base lists cover major, well-documented networks; they are illustrative, not an exhaustive inventory.
The stability index and PPP figures are computed within this dashboard from the reference data above — they are not official composite indices published by any single source.
Native-language translation uses a free, rate-limited API and may silently fall back to English if that day's quota is exhausted.
Global Shock Simulator probabilities are real Polymarket prices snapshotted on the date shown in each scenario card — they are not re-fetched live by this page and will drift from the current market price over time. Click through to the linked market for the live figure. Two of the four scenarios (Suez Canal, South China Sea) had no well-established dedicated forecast market at compilation time, so no probability is shown for those.
Reference snapshots (governance ratings, military data, elections, trade, commodity output) reflect research compiled as of June 2026 and require periodic manual review to stay current — they do not update on their own.

For Professional or Institutional Use

This dashboard is built as a general-reference and visualization tool, not a primary research database. For decision-critical or published analysis, verify directly against ACLED, UCDP, SIPRI, IISS, national statistics offices, and IMF / World Bank / central bank data portals.

Reference data compiled: June 2026. Live fields (World Bank, Wikidata, news, translation) refresh in real time and are not affected by that date.
