What This Means

QGI found 15,733historical cases where other countries' economic indicators followed a trajectory that subsequently led to a constitutional change event. North Korea's current indicator trajectory matches these historical patterns.

This does not mean North Korea will experience constitutional change. 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.
