A correction to a value or a definition travels from the gateway to a recomputed, steward-reviewed and logged result. The canvas shows where a request stands at the marked job; it is an illustration, not the status of a real request. Durations are proposed target service levels. Select a job for its steps, the people who act, the technology it runs on and what it produces.

A dataset enters NXS-GRX only through a registered source with a recorded licence, then is harmonised and mapped to indicators. The canvas shows where a request stands at the marked job; it is an illustration, not the status of a real request. Durations are proposed target service levels.

Corrections and right of reply

Name the page ID (for example GRX-PRF-KEN), the value or definition, the evidence and its source. Every submission is acknowledged, triaged and given a recorded disposition; accepted corrections propagate to every dependent value.

04Experts

Expert review

Reviewers are sought for every domain index, the instruments (nowcasting, forecast verification, scenario pathways, catastrophe modelling, network contagion) and every region. Review is credited and declared.

05Data

Data contributions

Data enters only through registered sources with a recorded licence. Contributors keep their rights; NXS-GRX uses data only as its licence admits and credits it on every value it reaches.

06Credit

Credit and licence

Contributors are credited by role (CRediT) with ORCID and ROR identifiers. Nexus-authored text is intended for CC BY 4.0 on release; contributed material keeps its own licence.

Every contribution is answered

Acknowledged, triaged and given a recorded disposition, in public.

Canonical repository

Status

The methodology, structure and definitions of The Global Risks Index are a preparatory working draft (2026), circulated for review and comment and not for implementation. No value appears until an edition is released from a governed evidence cut; values then carry intervals, classes, sources and their correction pathway. Simulators run the published methods on numbers you choose and never show a NXS-GRX value.

A country profile reads public evidence about a place. It is not a statement by or about the policy of any government, takes no position on the status of any territory, and does not imply a national programme or participation. Names follow UN M49.

What NXS-GRX is not

NXS-GRX is research and risk-analytics information. It is not a credit or ESG rating and uses no rating scale, not a benchmark for financial instruments, not official statistics, not an emergency warning or official classification, and not advice. It must not be used to evaluate natural persons. Risk classes are bands on a published scale, never rankings of countries or people.

Institutions and sources

The Nexus Consortium is stewarded by three independent not-for-profit institutions: GCRI Canada as Lead Institution, Consortium Secretariat and lead contracting organization, The Global Risks Forum (GRF) and The Global Risks Alliance (GRA). Technology, infrastructure and service providers work with the Consortium at arm's length under written agreements, like every other external party in the public-private-planet model, and hold no role in its stewardship.

Every value carries the attribution of its sources, which keep their own licences. External names are cited for interoperability only. Nexus-authored text is intended for CC BY 4.0 on release.

Avis en français

La méthodologie et les définitions du NXS-GRX sont un projet de travail préparatoire (2026). Le NXS-GRX est une information de recherche et d'analyse des risques : ni notation, ni indice de référence financier, ni statistique officielle, ni alerte, ni conseil. Les classes de risque sont des bandes sur une échelle publiée, non des classements.
