See strategic pressure building before it becomes a headline.
IPSC Strategic Indices convert verified, source-linked signals into structured measures of escalation, coercion, capability and supply-chain exposure. Track momentum across military, political, economic and technological domains—and trace material movements back to their underlying sources.
Structured evidence. Measurable momentum. Operational relevance.
IPSC Strategic Indices are designed to reveal changes in the direction and intensity of strategic pressure—not simply reproduce the daily news cycle.
Source-linked
Material index movements can be traced to underlying signals, source material and documented scoring decisions. The analytical trail remains visible and reviewable.
Momentum-focused
Cumulative measures and rolling signal flows reveal changes in the direction, intensity and concentration of strategic activity over time.
Decision-relevant
Scenario tripwires and sector assessments connect geopolitical developments to supply chains, markets, operations and strategic choices.
Thirteen indices. One strategic picture.
Compare developments across military, political, economic and technological domains—from force posture and grey-zone activity to trade coercion, critical-mineral controls and supply-chain dependency.

A transparent framework for structured early warning
The indices provide a systematic way to monitor strategic pressure. They support judgement; they do not replace it.
- Signal identification: relevant developments are collected from attributable public, official and specialist sources.
- Verification and classification: signals are reviewed, categorised and assigned to the relevant domain or thematic index.
- Structured scoring: each included signal is assessed for significance, confidence, direction and relevance to the monitored risk pathway.
- Trend construction: cumulative and rolling measures reveal changes in the pace, concentration and direction of strategic pressure.
- Analytical interpretation: index movements are assessed alongside context, competing explanations and sector-specific exposure.
- Source traceability: relevant movements can be connected to their underlying evidence and analytical rationale.

For a Taiwan-based semiconductor supplier, the dominant near-term exposure may not be invasion, but coercive economic disruption affecting critical inputs, licensing, logistics and customers.
Illustrative finding from an IPSC Cross-Strait semiconductor supply-chain assessment.
