What is driving Argentina’s tension score

last 30 days
  • 6 headlines in 30 days — 0.22% of everything the engine read, in line with the previous 30 days (0).
  • 67% of those were violent (attacks, strikes, casualties) and 67% scored as high-tension stories.
  • Conflicts on the roster: none. Argentina is not a party to any conflict our engine tracks right now.
  • Region: Americas reads 60 today; it carries 15% of this score.

Read it like this. Attention (how much the world is talking about Argentina) is the biggest input at 30%. Violence and high-tension share tell you what kind of talk it is. A country can be loud and calm — an election, a summit — or quiet and dangerous. The mix is the point.

How the Argentina score is built

Five inputs, fixed weights. Attention 30% (share of world coverage), violence 25% and high-tension share 15% (what kind of coverage), roster conflicts 15%, and the Americas region score 15%. A momentum nudge (+6 / −4) rewards a country whose coverage is accelerating or fading.

Same physics as the world score. The number rises 85% of the way to its new level at once and falls no faster than 3 points a day — fear arrives fast and leaves slowly.

No third-party index inside. Every count comes from the 41 public news feeds our engine reads itself; the full method is on the methodology page. Data is free under CC BY 4.0 via the API.
