What This Means

QGI found 2,894historical cases where other countries' economic indicators followed a trajectory that subsequently led to a fiscal policy change event. United States's current indicator trajectory matches these historical patterns.

This does not mean United States will experience fiscal policy change. It means the economic conditions that historically preceded such events in other countries are present in United States'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.
