How to Use the WorldIntelligence Global Conflict Tracker

What the map actually shows

The live globe is a thin orchestration layer above multiple open data sources. Each pulsing dot represents a discrete event with an upstream citation. Saturation maps to recency; pulse rate maps to severity; colour maps to event class.

Layer families

• Conflict — kinetic events, military movements, frontline shifts.
• Maritime — incident reports, AIS anomalies, choke-point status.
• Aviation — NOTAMs, airspace closures, controlled-airspace incursions.
• Disaster — seismic, volcanic, meteorological, hydrological.
• Cyber — disclosed incidents, infrastructure events, advisory issuances.
• Energy — outages, refinery events, pipeline status, OPEC actions.
• Space — launches, on-orbit events, debris-track changes.

Reading the map without overfitting

The map is decision-support, not decision-authority. Heavy activity in a quiet region is not automatically an emergency — it might be normal exercise activity, scheduled drills, or seasonal infrastructure cycles. Cross-reference with the per-country signal bars before drawing operational conclusions.
