Terminal
A live record of physical disruption, collected from public sources and placed on one screen. It reports what has been observed. Where it estimates instead, it says so.
What it covers
Eight domains, chosen because each one can physically stop another: armed conflict, maritime and shipping, energy, natural hazards, food and agriculture, health, infrastructure, and cyber. A record enters only with a publisher and a timestamp, and both stay attached to it everywhere it subsequently appears.
| Domain | Typical records | Earliest signal |
|---|---|---|
| Conflict | Armed clashes, strikes, unrest | Coded incident feeds |
| Maritime | Port and strait throughput, vessel behaviour | Traffic below baseline |
| Energy | Grid load, outages, benchmark prices | Price and load divergence |
| Hazards | Earthquake, fire, flood, storm | Sensor networks |
| Food | Crop stress, price, food security | Index divergence |
| Health | Outbreak and public-health advisories | Official bulletins |
| Infrastructure | Cables, pipelines, power, transport | Advisories and outage reports |
| Cyber | Network disruption, routing anomalies | Direct measurement |
Coverage is global; density is not. It follows what public sources actually report, which is uneven by region and by domain. The Terminal shows which feeds are currently reporting, so a quiet region can be told apart from an unwatched one.
The four numbers that matter
| Reading | What it means | What it is not |
|---|---|---|
| Pressure | How loud the world is today, 0–100, weighted by how well corroborated each report is. | A forecast. It describes today only. |
| Below normal | A route moving less traffic than its own recent baseline — often the first visible sign of a closure. | A cause. It says something changed, not why. |
| Evidence tier | How far to trust a record, from who published it. | A truth score. A tier-1 report can be correct. |
| Signal | A series diverging from its own baseline — stress before it is news. | A prediction. Most amount to nothing. |
Pressure is deliberately hard to saturate. A linear score pinned at 100 every day carries no information, so it rises with the breadth of stress across domains rather than with the raw volume of any single feed. The history beside it is what makes the number mean anything.
Ships change course before anyone announces anything. That is why traffic against its own baseline, rather than a headline, is usually the earliest thing here.
What you can actually do
Follow a dependency
Open any place and the map draws what connects to it — which minerals it buys and from whom, which ports serve it, what rests on it in turn. Each link states how it was established.
Watch specific things
Star any country, port or strait to pin it. Kept on your device; there is no account and nothing is sent anywhere.
Be told
Set conditions — domain, place, severity, keyword — and be alerted when all of them are met inside one window. In-app alerts need the tab open; adding a webhook lets one reach you when it is closed.
Take the data
Any filtered view exports as CSV or JSON with its sources attached, and the whole thing is readable from a public API.
What it will not tell you
Absence is not evidence. Nothing here means nothing was reported by a source we read — not that nothing happened.
Some feeds publish late. Several providers release weeks behind. Those are marked wherever they appear, and they corroborate rather than drive anything.
It is not advice. Not for money, not for anyone's safety. For those, use official sources and your own judgement.
