# Atlas Posture — a place’s structural + dynamic risk posture

> A composite posture score over a trailing window, blending a DYNAMIC axis (measured from coded events) with a STRUCTURAL axis (annual World Bank WDI/WGI and V-Dem indicators).

**Read `trend` carefully.** Its `delta_vs_prior_window` measures the DYNAMIC axis, while `score` is the blended headline — and the structural axis is annual, so it is frozen within any window Posture serves. `basis` states this and `headline_delta_equivalent` gives what the headline actually moved. Both windows are measured on the requested weighting, so the trend differences two periods rather than two estimators.

  title: GDELT Cloud API v2
  version: 2.0.0
  description: >-
    Clean v2 REST API for generated GDELT Cloud structured Events, clustered
    Stories, linked Entities, summaries, admin1 discovery, significance ranking,
    and paginated article evidence.


    Event significance is a family-scoped weighted blend, renormalized so every
    event family spans a true 0-1: each event's raw total is divided by the
    maximum its own family can reach (Conflict 1.00, CAMEO+ POLITICAL 0.90,
    other CAMEO+ domains 0.65). All events: Goldstein severity 0.25, article
    evidence 0.05, confidence 0.05. Conflict only: fatalities 0.55 (log-scaled
    by body count) and civilian targeting 0.10. CAMEO+ only: magnitude 0.20,
    systemic importance 0.15, propagation potential 0.10, market sensitivity
    0.10. When magnitude is unmeasured its term AND its 0.20 weight are both
    dropped. The four CAMEO+ metrics are rubric scores produced by published
    formulas - ordinal ranking signals, not measurements, probabilities, or
    predicted price moves. goldstein_scale is one canonical public metric,
    populated for Conflict Events and CAMEO+ POLITICAL Events where meaningful.
    Story linked_event_count is a Story-to-Event link aggregate, not a distinct
    Event total.
