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.

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.

Enterprise and public-sector plans run exposure, change and fields on your scope, and publish them as tiles.

Stato

La metodologia, la struttura e le definizioni di The Global Risks Index sono una bozza di lavoro preparatoria (2026), diffusa per esame e commenti e non destinata all’attuazione. Nessun valore compare finché un’edizione non viene pubblicata a partire da un taglio di evidenze regolamentato; i valori riporteranno allora intervalli, classi, fonti e il relativo percorso di correzione. I simulatori applicano i metodi pubblicati ai numeri che scegli e non mostrano mai un valore NXS-GRX.

Che cosa non è NXS-GRX

NXS-GRX è un'informazione di ricerca e di analisi del rischio. Non è un rating creditizio o ESG e non usa alcuna scala di rating, non è un indice di riferimento per strumenti finanziari, non è una statistica ufficiale, non è un allerta di emergenza né una classificazione ufficiale e non è una consulenza. Non deve essere usato per valutare persone fisiche. Le classi di rischio sono fasce su una scala pubblicata, mai graduatorie di paesi o persone.

Istituzioni e fonti

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.

Ogni valore riporta l’attribuzione delle proprie fonti, che mantengono le rispettive licenze. I nomi esterni sono citati unicamente a fini di interoperabilità. I testi redatti da Nexus sono destinati alla licenza CC BY 4.0 al momento della pubblicazione.

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.
