How it works

News is the input. Household decisions are the output.

    Step 1

    Signal

    A development appears in government data, commodity series, weather models, filings or reporting.

    Step 2

    Verification

    Source reliability and independent corroboration. Five articles repeating one report count once.

    Step 3

    Local exposure

    Does your region depend on the affected system — this fuel market, grid, corridor or growing area?

    Step 4

    Household exposure

    Your Resilience Twin: water source, heating, generator, commute, pantry, medications, pets.

    Step 5

    Probability

    A range, not false precision. Event confidence stays separate from impact probability.

    Step 6

    Severity

    How much would this actually change daily life if it happens?

    Step 7

    Time horizon

    Immediate 0–72h, near term 3–14 days, medium 2–8 weeks, longer 2+ months.

    Step 8

    Action

    Monitor, prepare or act — plus what not to do, and why this is not yet a crisis.

Principles we hold to

Price risk ≠ availability risk

Gasoline can carry high price risk and low shortage risk at the same time. We always show both.

Meaningful change only

75% → 77% with no change in severity, exposure or recommendation is not an alert. 52–65% → 75–90% with a recommendation change is.

Low-regret actions

We prefer actions that remain useful if nothing happens: food you already eat, a refill that was due, half a tank, charged batteries.

Confidence is not probability

Confidence describes evidence quality and source independence. Probability describes the outcome.

Quiet is a result

When the environment is stable we say so. Telling you to do nothing is part of the product.

We don't know yet

Where evidence is incomplete we say that instead of inventing a number.

Where the data comes from

Tier 1 — authoritative

EIA, NOAA/NWS, USDA, BLS, BEA, Federal Reserve, FEMA, DHS, state agencies, utilities, SEC EDGAR, investor relations.

Tier 2 — professional

Major reputable news organisations, industry associations, commodity data, freight indices.

Tier 3 — signal

Social media, community reports, user submissions. Never enough on their own for a high-confidence alert.

These integrations are not connected yet. Everything in the product today is clearly labelled demonstration intelligence sitting on the same structures the live sources will fill.
