Methodology concept

  1. Signals are grouped into categories. Each example index above defines a small set of signal groups that together cover the domain.
  2. Categories are weighted. Weights reflect the editorial judgment of the index designer and can be revised between releases with a published changelog.
  3. Scores are normalized. Each input is mapped to a 0–100 scale so groups with different units remain comparable.
  4. An index value is published. The weighted combination yields a single number per entity, sector, or period.
  5. Trends are shown over time. The index is most useful as a series — level matters, but direction matters more.
Disclaimer. This is a concept framework only. It is not a live risk index, security audit, legal opinion, or investment advice. The examples above are illustrative and do not represent published index values.
