Figures in the dashboard sections come from Earthlog's own monitors (conflicts, health, currencies, attention, sovereign heat, natural hazards) and compare their readings now with an earlier reading. Where moves are mentioned beside a change, they are context, not proven causes.
Moves are logged from public statements and reporting; tier and stage labels are Earthlog's reading of the wording, not verification.
