About this indicator

Trailing 7-day count of English-language conflict-related articles about the Gulf / Hormuz / Red Sea (GDELT timelinevolraw). A media-tempo proxy for conflict intensity, not an event count — used because it reacts within hours. Recalibrated Sep 2026 to the measured range (~1.9k calm-week floor, ~8.9k peak, Aug 2026); the original 25/55 calibration pinned the indicator at maximum stress permanently.
