How to read this map and what is connected

Marker area uses fixed economic-reach bands. Color uses a separate reviewed stress assessment. Overview groups show the strongest member, never summed heat. Taiwan’s coverage priority does not assign severity. Regions use approximate overview points; markers do not locate individual incidents.

Connected sources: official Taiwan MND operational statements, NGA navigation warnings for Hormuz, ECB monthly sovereign yields and relevant MacroDigest published headlines. UKMTO access is suspended; any saved incident reports retain their dates and attribution. Source updates never assign heat. Editorial decisions are persisted and bind the reviewed source version. Automatic checks follow each source’s stated interval; current status and timestamps are shown with the data. Live vessel tracking, satellite imagery and intraday price feeds are not connected.

Source observation times remain separate from retrieval and review times. Expired evidence is unconfirmed, not resolved. Basemap: Natural Earth, public domain.
