# Atlas Posture — country condition and annual context

> A 0–100 condition score with explicit dynamic and structural axes. Sparse Event windows retain null dynamic scores. Available annual WDI/WGI/V-Dem indicators can supply a structural-only headline, marked best_effort with its evidence note, indicator count and vintage. Headline insufficient_data means neither axis has a score. Annual indicators use fixed absolute anchors; dynamic indicators use frozen cross-country or absolute references. as_of constrains dynamic observations, not the latest annual indicators or frozen normalization; this is not a fully point-in-time structural backtest.

  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.
