What runs today

29 services. 1 run on these pages now; the rest say what they wait on. A state comes from the platform’s code, routes and tests, never from a catalogue entry alone.

No sign-in and no key; runs in the browser.
Open public API
The open, read-only NXS-GRX (canonical data, provenance and risk) public API.
Enterprise and public-sector plans
Through the enterprise API with a the Foundry account and an entitled plan; vector tiles need the Enterprise or public-sector plan.
The Foundry tenants
Inside the Foundry for tenants; reached from enterprise plans as the platform admits them.

From imagery to a mapped risk product

Imagery passes the licence gate before analysis, scenes are made comparable before differencing, and no-data stays no-data all the way to the tiles.

The canvas shows where a request stands at the marked job; it is illustrative, not the status of a real request. Durations are proposed target service levels.

What these states do not mean

  • Built and tested means code and tests exist in the platform; it is not a claim that the service is deployed or operating.
  • The STAC and OGC APIs make no conformance claim to STAC or OGC.
  • No GeoAI model runs today: the licence register admits no model weights.
  • Live feeds are indicative events with their source links; they are not authority warnings.

Statut

La méthodologie, la structure et les définitions de The Global Risks Index constituent un projet de travail préparatoire (2026), diffusé pour examen et commentaires et non pour mise en œuvre. Aucune valeur n'apparaît avant la publication d'une édition à partir d'une coupe de données probantes encadrée ; les valeurs comportent alors des intervalles, des classes, des sources et leur voie de correction. Les simulateurs appliquent les méthodes publiées à des nombres que vous choisissez et n'affichent jamais de valeur NXS-GRX.

Ce que NXS-GRX n'est pas

NXS-GRX est une information de recherche et d'analyse des risques. Ce n'est pas une notation de crédit ou ESG et il n'utilise aucune échelle de notation ; ce n'est pas un indice de référence pour des instruments financiers, ni une statistique officielle, ni une alerte d'urgence ou une classification officielle, ni un conseil. Il ne doit pas servir à évaluer des personnes physiques. Les classes de risque sont des bandes sur une échelle publiée, jamais des classements de pays ou de personnes.

Institutions et sources

The Nexus Consortium is stewarded by three independent not-for-profit institutions: The Global Centre for Risk and Innovation (GCRI), through GCRI US in Washington, DC and GCRI Canada in Ontario, with GCRI Canada as Lead Institution, Consortium Secretariat and lead contracting organisation; 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.

Chaque valeur porte l'attribution de ses sources, qui conservent leurs propres licences. Les noms externes ne sont cités qu'à des fins d'interopérabilité. Les textes rédigés par Nexus sont destinés à être publiés sous licence CC BY 4.0.
