A verified news-intelligence dashboard tracking the state of the world through composite indices with published weights, paired-opposite framing, and an append-only scoring ledger. Built and maintained by Anthony Migliazzo · Starpoint LLC.

What it tracks

Three headline composites, updated by issue:

• World on Edge — geopolitical tension (GPR, active conflicts, global worry, conflict deaths, species pressure; weighted, weights published on-page)
• World Goodness — humanitarian aid, poverty trend, scientific breakthroughs, treaties, mobility, conservation
• Calm Window — the probability the current moment resolves toward de-escalation

Plus 16 monitored signals across climate (CO₂, temperature anomaly, sea level, Arctic ice), space (exoplanets, solar activity, near-Earth objects, technosignature watch), and society (inequality, mobility, conflict, peacekeeping, species, conservation, supply chains, information integrity).

Methodology principles

1. Published weights. Every composite shows its inputs and weights on the page. No black box.
2. Paired opposites. Edge and Goodness are scored independently — the dashboard is structurally prevented from telling only one story.
3. Append-only ledger. public/data/scores-history.csv is the scoring record. Each issue appends one row with the composite values, deltas, and a written rationale. Prior rows are never edited or regenerated.
4. Verified sources, stated freshness. Values carry their as-of dates and sources (NOAA, Copernicus/C3S, NASA, EIA, GPR, ACLED). Anything that can't be verified at update time is labeled with its last verified date rather than estimated.

Architecture

The deployed page is a fully static, self-contained HTML file — no runtime fetches, no client-side data dependencies. It is generated, not hand-edited:

data/issue-data.json   → canonical values for every tile, ticker item, drawer, and arc
build/build.js         → regenerates public/index.html from the data file
build/verify.js        → renders before/after in a real DOM (jsdom) and diffs the
                         full page, all 18 drawers, and the arc table — the build
                         is proven identical, not asserted

Publishing an issue

# 1. Edit canonical values + authored prose
vim data/issue-data.json

# 2. Append the issue row to the ledger (never edit prior rows)
vim public/data/scores-history.csv

# 3. Regenerate and prove
node build/build.js
node build/verify.js   # must PASS

# 4. Commit — the generated index.html is committed, so git history
#    is an issue-by-issue record of exactly what the site said, and when

Why it's built this way

The dashboard's subject is decision-quality under uncertainty, so the build holds itself to the same standard: every claim has provenance, every update leaves a record, and every build is verified against its specification rather than trusted. The same discipline underlies NERVA, the decision-integrity kernel developed alongside this project.

Disclaimer

AnthonyCharts is an editorial synthesis of public data, not a forecasting service. Composite scores reflect the published methodology applied to verified inputs as of each issue date. Verify figures against primary sources before downstream use.
