EXPERIMENTAL / EDITORIAL INDEX

GLOBAL FUD METER.

One number cannot explain the world. This one does not pretend to. It is a transparent reading of recent source-linked headlines, and it disappears when the evidence is thin.

GLOBAL FUD—INSUFFICIENT DATA
INSUFFICIENT DATA

Not enough signal yet.

The global index needs valid scores from at least four categories. We will not draw a dramatic number from a handful of stories.

How we calculate it.

01 / CollectRecent metadata from named sources. Article titles retain links and timestamps. Duplicate title clusters count once; each source contributes at most eight stories per category.

02 / Require coverageEach category needs five distinct stories from two sources within 72 hours. A global score needs four covered categories. Missing coverage is shown, never imputed.

03 / Score45% normalized story volume (capped at 20) plus 55% share of headlines containing explicit risk terms. The output is rounded to 0–100. This simple model can be biased and is experimental.

No claim is made that the labels measure objective danger. Index history begins only after real calculations are stored.
