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 46,502historical cases where other countries' economic indicators followed a trajectory that subsequently led to a political repression event. Eritrea's current indicator trajectory matches these historical patterns.

This does not mean Eritrea will experience political repression. It means the economic conditions that historically preceded such events in other countries are present in Eritrea'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.
