Stress is just how far today's value sits between “norm” (0) and “crisis” (100) — a fixed calibrated scale, not a verdict. It measures pressure, not a prediction of collapse.
Business-activity index (RSBI/services PMI) currently reads 48 points (>50 = growth), mapping to a stress of 62/100 — elevated pressure, toward the crisis end of its scale.
Across the tracked period the stress has held roughly flat (+0.0 pts).
The value is sourced via independent monitoring; confidence — medium. How it is derived: RSBI and S&P Global services PMI; below 50 = contraction, independent of Rosstat.
History is accumulating since launch — a chart appears once enough daily readings pile up.
