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.
This is an expert 0–100 estimate read from the news flow — a judgement call, not a measured figure. Treat it as a signal, not a statistic.
Share of loss-making coal firms currently reads 67.3 %, mapping to a stress of 95/100 — critical pressure, near the worst end of its calibrated range.
Across the tracked period the stress has risen by 24.6 points.
The value is sourced via an expert estimate; confidence — low. How it is derived: Ministry/sector data; strong ruble and low prices push many into losses.
