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 3,487historical cases where other countries' economic indicators followed a trajectory that subsequently led to a economic recession event. North Macedonia's current indicator trajectory matches these historical patterns.
This does not mean North Macedonia will experience economic recession. It means the economic conditions that historically preceded such events in other countries are present in North Macedonia'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.
