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 2,926historical cases where other countries' economic indicators followed a trajectory that subsequently led to a foreign intervention event. North Korea's current indicator trajectory matches these historical patterns.
This does not mean North Korea will experience foreign intervention. 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.
