Fetching the latest RGRI reading from 600+ primary sources.
How the RGRI works
Three steps from raw intelligence to actionable insight.
01
Collect
We continuously ingest data from 600+ primary sources — government gazettes, regulatory filings, conflict monitors, trade databases, and official communications across 30+ jurisdictions.
02
Quantify
Proprietary models evaluate each signal across five dimensions of geopolitical risk, weighting for severity, velocity, and cross-domain correlation to produce a single composite score.
03
Contextualize
Every daily reading is paired with a plain-English assessment that explains what's driving the number, which risks are escalating, and what to watch — so you never see a number without context.
Why the RGRI
Updated daily, not quarterly
Geopolitical risk moves fast. The RGRI is recalculated every day so your risk picture is never stale.
Five-dimensional
A single number backed by five weighted sub-indices — so you can see what's driving the headline figure.
Plain-English analysis
Every reading comes with a written assessment. No raw numbers without context, ever.
Source-transparent
Built on 600+ primary sources with full methodology disclosure. Audit the inputs, not just the output.
Proprietary models
Purpose-built quantification models, not repurposed sentiment analysis or keyword counting.

Frequently asked questions
The Radiant Geopolitical Risk Index quantifies global geopolitical instability on a 0-100 scale across five dimensions: crisis risk, conflict & security, political instability, trade disruption, and economic stress. Higher values indicate greater risk.
The RGRI is recalculated once daily at 06:00 UTC. Each update includes a fresh composite score, updated sub-index values for all five components, and a plain-English assessment explaining what's driving the number. It is not a real-time metric — new developments may not be reflected for up to 24 hours.
The index is built on 600+ primary sources including government gazettes, regulatory filings, conflict monitors, trade databases, official diplomatic communications, central bank publications, and parliamentary records across 30+ jurisdictions.
Most geopolitical risk indices are updated quarterly, rely on survey data, or use simple keyword counting. The RGRI is updated daily, uses proprietary quantification models across five weighted dimensions, and always pairs its reading with a plain-English assessment. It's also source-transparent — you can audit the inputs.
