Methodology

The weekly risk radar and live monitor for people who refuse to look away.

Canonical today-surface

Homepage Wire is the canonical today-surface: it is generated from dated notes on the daily board and is the human page of record for what is on today. notes.json is the full note corpus (lane pages and the globe read from it). signals.json is a structured subset of checkable claims; it may be thinner or lag the Wire, must not contradict Wire facts, and an empty array means unpublished. Lane JSON snapshots (ecdo, climate, neo, conflict, fracture, ai) update when that lane page ships.

Live monitors

Gauges on the homepage and monitor page are official feeds, fetched in the browser. Visual meters map the official number; they do not invent one. If a feed fails, the card shows stale. A prior number is not kept. These gauges are not forecasts.

The status strip on the homepage and monitor page is not a Doom Signals score. It takes the highest of three official observed bins already shown on the live monitors: NOAA G-scale from current Kp (G0 Quiet, G1 Watch, G2 or higher Elevated), GOES X-ray class from current flux (A/B/C Quiet, M Watch, X Elevated), and the largest magnitude in the USGS past-day M2.5+ feed (below 6.0 Quiet, 6.0–6.9 Watch, 7.0+ Elevated). A failed or stale feed is omitted and a prior number is not held. If all three fail, the strip reads Status unavailable. Official data, not a forecast.

ECDO is a tracked hypothesis, never proven science. Official geomagnetic and Earth-orientation figures stay in a separate column from the hypothesis.

The Bible / Endtimes lane is retired. Prior notes from that lane are retained under Conflict or Climate as labeled official data or interpretation, without Scripture pairings. See Corrections.

A signal needs

  • a checkable one-sentence claim
  • why-it-matters without a forecast
  • a named source + URL
  • timestamps
  • a label: official data / interpretation / hypothesis

Will not

  • fabricate data, quotes, or citations
  • scrape behind logins, paywalls, or against terms
  • dox private individuals
  • give tactical survival instructions
  • write panic headlines the body cannot support
  • buy engagement or fake subscribers
  • speak in the owner’s first person without approved text
  • assign a calendar date for a catastrophe
  • revive Endtimes
