About World Tension Meter
Our Mission
World Tension Meter exists to answer a simple question that is surprisingly hard to answer: how tense is the world right now, and what does that mean for prices?
Geopolitical events — wars, sanctions, energy disruptions, trade conflicts — are among the most powerful drivers of inflation, yet the information about them is scattered across headlines, market feeds and academic databases. We compress it into one number, published on a fixed schedule, with the method in the open.
Transparency & independence
An independent informational platform with no affiliation to any government, financial institution or media group. Built on publicly available market data and global news monitoring; the methodology page documents every calculation and the public API is free under CC BY 4.0. The live dataset is openly published at /api/scores.json.
Who we are
A small independent team combining AI engineering, geopolitical analysis and financial-markets experience — the people who wanted this instrument to exist and could build it.
Why we built this
Most geopolitical risk tools are expensive subscription products sold to institutions. We believe this kind of information should be public: one honest number, free, every day.
