North Korea
MODERATEBilateral Treaty
North Korea shows moderate signals for bilateral treaty. 39,514 historical precedent windows were identified across all four pattern length tiers (short, medium, long, and institutional). This means North Korea's economic indicators are following trajectories that, in other countries, preceded bilateral treaty events. The most recent matching event in the curated database was in 2025.
Signal by Pattern Length Tier
Different pattern lengths capture different dynamics. Short patterns (3–8 years) detect policy cycles and fiscal crises. Long patterns (21+ years) detect structural and institutional trajectories.
What This Means
QGI found 39,514historical cases where other countries' economic indicators followed a trajectory that subsequently led to a bilateral treaty event. North Korea's current indicator trajectory matches these historical patterns.
This does not mean North Korea will experience bilateral treaty. It means the economic conditions that historically preceded such events in other countries are present in North Korea'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.
