Open Flash Point detects geopolitical risk across 8 regions and maps it to the assets most sensitive to it. "Pressure" aggregates which regions are flagging an asset, weighted by their risk score; the track record measures how often those flags preceded a move in the read's direction. This is market-sensitivity context, not investment advice.
