DAILY INTELLIGENCE BRIEF ·
SITREP INDEX
55 · ELEVATED
De-escalating ▼ -3 vs yesterday
Iran anchors the board at 77.8, on 2,206 tracked conflict events and 33 articles across 13 sources. Leading today's signal: Senior UK minister rules out leadership challenge as Burnham edges closer to Downing Street (Euronews). The index eased to 55 as United Kingdom saw the sharpest shift, coverage down 10 day over day. Markets remained jittery, with volatility up 5.17%.
● Low 0–39
● Guarded 40–54
● Elevated 55–69
● Critical 70+
The SITREP Index (0–100) blends a structural conflict base (UN/HDX HAPI) with a live news-velocity layer across 30 sources. Higher = greater global instability; a directional signal, not a forecast.
