The Global Risks Index · Kernel · 15 products · 35 domains
One kernel for risk intelligence
The kernel resolves context, finds the right governed science, runs it and composes products that keep every input’s evidence, supported claim level and correction path.

01Kernel
What the kernel does
The risk engine sits over the Foundry systems and does not duplicate NXS-GRX (canonical data, provenance and risk) risk science; it composes what the science already produced.
Contexte
Résoudre
Places, times, assets and portfolios resolve to UNIs, with every source assertion kept.
Forfait
Discover and route
Capabilities are found by stable ID and version, never by title, and routed by latency and scientific assurance.
Run
Run and compose
A dependency plan runs on governed NXS-GRX kernels; products compose across domains on the risk product graph.
Livrer
Project and correct
Products project to the form each client needs, and a correction upstream supersedes every dependent product.
02A composition
From request to product
Every composition is a governed run: the policy gate refuses with a type, the assurance gate fails closed, and the product carries its lineage.

03Product truth
The kernel never upgrades science
- Supported claim level
- A composite is bounded by the supported claim level of its inputs. An integrated engine output stays integrated; it never becomes institutional acceptance.
- Assurance
- Composition carries the weakest scientific assurance of its inputs and every upstream evidence reference.
- Missing evidence
- High-reliance projections fail closed as
INSUFFICIENT_EVIDENCEinstead of inventing a value. - Correction
- Superseding an upstream product marks every dependent composition SUPERSEDED, so stale intelligence cannot stay current.
- Non-claims
- The kernel issues no official warning, certifies no engineering, prescribes no treatment, executes no financial transaction and actuates no external system.

35 frontier science and technology domains
The kernel’s domain registry covers the frontier technologies whose risks the index tracks, so a capability, product or pack always names its domain.

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.
