Methodology (v1.1.0)
ReliefSignal aggregates publicly available information into structured, timestamped records with source references. It is non-political, non-military, and non-operational.
Governance: events may be auto-flagged for human review based on confidence, ambiguity, severity, and source restrictions. Rejected events are excluded from scoring.
Language safeguard: summaries are normalized to neutral tone using a rule-based filter before storage.
Risk Model (V1)
Risk score (0–100) is a weighted composite:
- 0.35 MilitaryIntensity
- 0.15 AirspaceImpact
- 0.15 MaritimeImpact
- 0.20 CommoditySignal
- 0.15 DiplomaticEscalation
V1 is conservative: it reports observed signals and drivers from public sources. It does not predict outcomes.
Update Frequency
Events are ingested on a scheduled basis. Risk scores are computed and stored as current values and daily snapshots.
Limitations
- Coverage depends on public availability and language reach.
- Not an official authority guidance product.
- No tactical precision: choropleths only; coarse location model enforced at DB level.
