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.
Gold's role in sanctions evasion currently reads 50 index, mapping to a stress of 50/100 — moderate pressure.
Across the tracked period the stress has held roughly flat (+0.0 pts).
The value is sourced via an expert estimate; confidence — low. How it is derived: OSINT proxy for using gold to move value around sanctions.
History is accumulating since launch — a chart appears once enough daily readings pile up.
No long public data series exists for this indicator — it is an estimated 0–100 index from expert / OSINT sources, not a published statistic. We track the current reading (and the short live trend above, where it exists).
