What This Means

QGI found 10,723historical cases where other countries' economic indicators followed a trajectory that subsequently led to a bilateral treaty event. South Africa's current indicator trajectory matches these historical patterns.

This does not mean South Africa will experience bilateral treaty. It means the economic conditions that historically preceded such events in other countries are present in South Africa'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.
