How These Indices Are Built

Each index is a weighted composite of real-time data: vessel traffic anomalies, commodity price movements, GDELT news severity scores, and economic indicators. Weights are documented publicly. The formulas are transparent — the data integration and daily computation is the barrier to replication.
