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.
NWF liquid depletion pace currently reads 14 months to zero (est.), mapping to a stress of 73/100 — 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 a forward projection; confidence — low. How it is derived: Model forecast: liquid part / average monthly draw at deficit and ~$45 oil.
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).
