What This Means

QGI found 1,375historical cases where other countries' economic indicators followed a trajectory that subsequently led to a economic diversification event. New Zealand's current indicator trajectory matches these historical patterns.

This does not mean New Zealand will experience economic diversification. It means the economic conditions that historically preceded such events in other countries are present in New Zealand's current data. Analysts should examine the underlying evidence and apply domain expertise.

QGI surfaces economically-grounded risk candidates that analysts should examine. Risk tiers reflect historical precedent density, not probability forecasts.
