The risk index landscape

What the world’s risk indices measure, how, and where they stop, so NXS-GRX (canonical data, provenance and risk) can interoperate with them and close the gaps between them. Source series are read where licences admit and never re-weighted.

What no index does yet

Established risk and resilience indices, read for interoperability and validity checks. Names are those of their stewards and are cited for reference only; no text of any index is reproduced and no endorsement is implied. Commercial providers are described by category. Indicator counts change between editions; the current methodology note of each index governs. NXS-GRX (canonical data, provenance and risk) relation: SOURCE (a published series NXS-GRX may read as a source where its licence admits, never re-weighted), CROSSWALK (used for validity checks and mapping), COMPLEMENT (a different object NXS-GRX does not reproduce).

अंतराल NXS-GRX design
No index unifies hazard, vulnerability, conflict, macro-finance, cyber, health, food, nature and technology in one structure Twenty index domain indices in four pillars, one grammar
Systemic and cascading risk is described, not modelled Coupling instrument: typed dependency networks, contagion models, coupled beside standalone composite
उप-राष्ट्रीय कवरेज कम है और तुलनीय नहीं ADM1, ADM2 and one H3 fabric for hazard, exposure and capacity
अनिश्चितता शायद ही कभी बताई जाती है; रैंकों का अति-पाठ होता है 90% intervals, class probabilities and Sobol sensitivity on every value; no league tables
डेटा एक से तीन वर्ष पीछे रहता है Pulse instrument: weekly nowcast over admitted event streams
कुछ ही सूचकांक पूर्वानुमान करते हैं या बैक-टेस्ट किए जाते हैं प्रकाशित सत्यापन स्कोरकार्ड के साथ दृष्टिकोण उपकरण
परिदृश्य अनुमान दुर्लभ हैं और केवल वृहद स्तर के हैं Pathways instrument: SSP × warming level and transition families to 2030, 2050 and 2100
अनुभूत और मापा गया जोखिम आपस में धुंधले हैं Perception instrument kept separate, with a published gap
Values rarely trace to sources, versions and licences रिकॉर्ड-स्तरीय उद्गम, लाइसेंस नियंत्रण, सार्वजनिक सुधार लॉग
मशीन पहुँच कमज़ोर है (PDF और स्प्रेडशीट रिलीज़) API, SDMX keys, vector tiles, bulk files and versioned releases
लाइसेंस प्रतिबंध व्युत्पन्न पुन: उपयोग रोकते हैं प्रति-स्रोत लाइसेंस नियंत्रण; रोके गए मान गिने जाते हैं
Coverage gaps cluster in fragile and small-island states Coverage vector per country; imputation flagged and capped
काग़ज़ी क्षमता को प्रदर्शन समझ लिया जाता है Capability ladder from listed to demonstrated in real events
विधियाँ बदलती हैं और तुलनीयता टूटती है सिमैंटिक संस्करण, पश्च-अनुमानित शृंखलाएँ, प्रति रिलीज़ डाइजेस्ट
Neglected domains: AI, space weather, biosecurity, minerals, digital infrastructure, tail risk Exponential technology and strategic systems series; Tail instrument
सूचकांकों में कोई साझा वर्गीकरण नहीं hazards with HIPs crosswalks; indicators with 501 crosswalks to source code lists
औसत मोटी पूँछें छिपाते हैं Exceedance curves, return-period losses and expected shortfall where loss can be modelled
