South Africa
MODERATEBilateral Treaty
South Africa shows weak signals for bilateral treaty. 10,723 historical precedent windows were identified across 3 pattern length tiers. This means South Africa'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 2001.
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 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.
