One number for how loudly the world's press is talking about India's geopolitics. Updated every morning. Every number backed by the articles behind it.
IGRM measures press salience: the share of global news coverage matching
five registered channels of India-relevant geopolitics — the Pakistan border, the China border,
Gulf & energy security, US & trade policy, and shipping chokepoints — each ranked against
its own trailing two years. It is not a measure of risk, it makes no forecasts, and it
is not investment advice. What it offers instead is discipline: every construction choice registered
before use, every claim checkable, every miss recorded in public.
Composite today –
Read it in ninety seconds
- The headline number is the composite: the mean of five channel scores,
each a 0–100 percentile of today's coverage share against that channel's own last two years.
70 means louder than 70% of days in that window. That's all it means.
- The five channels decompose it. A quiet composite can hide one loud channel; the channel
rows and their sparklines show which one.
- The receipts are the evidence: for each channel, the exact
registered query and the matched articles — most of them drawn from the very sample the day's
score was computed over, tier-sorted by source credibility.
- The validation record is how you know it measures anything:
detection of a pre-registered episode list the query terms never name, placebo channels that must
stay quiet, robustness under alternative dictionaries, and the sampling bands on recent scores.

Why this is an instrument, not a dashboard
- Registered dictionaries. The query terms are versioned with per-term rationales and an
append-only changelog; they never chase events after the fact.
- Pre-registered validation. The episode list was frozen before the first test; hit and
miss both publish. Current record: on the validation page, misses included.
- Public reliability record. The morning contract is scored from commit timestamps, not
self-reporting; misses stay listed forever.
- A corrections ledger. Every error caught, dated, append-only.
- Frozen machine interface. Thirty endpoints with promised fields,
no key, no rate limit, open CORS.
What this cannot tell you
Whether markets will move, whether a crisis will escalate, or what a
government intends. Salience is attention, and attention is not risk: the
attention-pricing gap study documents exactly where press
attention and market pricing diverge, as a finding, not a signal.
