A deterministic read of the live news corpus: which conflicts are escalating, which stories multiple independent outlets are carrying, and which topics are taking a larger share of coverage than they were. No model wrote these numbers — they are counts, shares and ratios computed from the corpus, reproducible from the same inputs.
Mentions of distress vocabulary across the last 24 hours of the corpus.
0–10 over a trailing 48 hours. Conflict and economic signal, weighted by how many independent outlets carry it — the breadth term is what stops one prolific outlet manufacturing an escalation. Each entry lists the stories behind its score.

Last 24 hours. Ranked by how many independent outlets carry a story, not how many stories exist — five outlets running one wire item is one story with one source, and counting it as five is how a national wire ends up presented as corroboration.

Seven-day spike detection: a term's share of the last 24 hours against its share of the days before. Share rather than raw count, because the corpus is a rolling working set and raw counts make everything look like a spike.
Compared against 7 day(s) of our own full-corpus snapshots (17773 stories).
Computed from the Corvus Intel corpus of 3,500 stories at 2026-10-14T13:20:53.456Z. Deterministic.
