De-escalating ▼ -1 vs yesterday

Russia anchors the board at 84.5, on 3,310 tracked conflict events and 33 articles across 16 sources. Leading today's signal: Kyiv Builds Food and Water Reserves Ahead of Winter Amid Risk of Blackouts (KyivPost). The index eased to 60 as Ukraine saw the sharpest shift, coverage down 8 day over day. Markets held steady, with volatility up 0.29%.

● 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 56 sources. Higher = greater global instability; a directional signal, not a forecast.
