Release movements

What changed this release

Release comparison

Comparison not available for this view. Regional domain scores were first archived in September 2026, so a release comparison starts in October.

Scores are stress readings out of 100; higher means more stress. Most indicators update annually or quarterly, so a large movement usually marks a new official release entering the index, not a change that happened within the month.

Concurrent stress

Domains at extreme stress

0 of 11

No domain is scoring 75 or above in this release. Where several do at once, they are listed here as a signal; concurrent strain is reported rather than scored, because the index holds no model of how a failure in one domain would propagate to another.

Data provenance

47 of 49 indicators are drawn from verified official sources, each labelled on its metric card. The remaining 2 are provisional placeholders, marked as seed where they appear, because no clean official figure is published yet; placeholders are shown for transparency and are excluded from all scoring.
