Maps, tiles, rasters and GeoAI
Real basemaps, vector tiles at country, subnational and hexagon resolution, satellite imagery, cloud-optimised rasters, open catalogues and spatial science, each with an honest state and a licence check.
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.
- Live on these pages
- 1 · Runs in the visitor’s browser on risksindex.com now.
- Built and tested in the platform
- 9 · Implemented in the Foundry with tests that name it; reaches these pages or the enterprise API when its condition is met.
- Built in the platform
- 7 · Implemented in the Foundry; no test naming it was found.
- Waiting on a deployment or licence
- 11 · Code exists, but it needs a deployed engine, a data build or a licence admission before it can serve.
- Held by the licence register
- 0 · The licence register does not admit the source for this use.
- Not built
- 1 · Registered as a capability only; no implementation exists.
- Open on these pages
- 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.
From satellite imagery to a mapped risk product
End to end on the longest path: about 1.1 d of proposed target service levels. Gates wait for the people named; bars with a fading end have no fixed length.

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.
Bring your own areas and assets
Enterprise and public-sector plans run exposure, change and fields on your scope, and publish them as tiles.
حیثیت
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.
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: 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.
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.
