APOCALYPSE goes live — daily Global Apocalypse Index now public
APOCALYPSEGlobal Apocalypse IndexGAItail risksystemic risklaunch
After a long quiet build, APOCALYPSE is now public. The mission terminal at apocalypse-index.org/terminal/ publishes a daily readout of the Global Apocalypse Index (GAI) alongside two transparency channels — GAI-x (human-driven) and GAI-y (cosmic-driven) — every day, with a documented training and gating cycle behind every promotion to canonical.
What's live today
- A daily GAI value with zone (GREEN / BLUE / AMBER / RED), refreshed every 24 hours after the nightly training and gate cycle.
- Two side channels — GAI-x and GAI-y — published as fully separate meters. They do not sum to GAI. They exist to answer the question "where is the pressure coming from?" without conflating it with the headline number.
- A public white paper: plain-language overview of what the system does, what data it ingests, what it publishes, and how training-and-gating works. Read it from the Academic tab.
- A provenance page: input-side and output-side accounting of every published readout, with the run identifier and gate decision for the day.
- A daily briefing on YouTube: the day's GAI value, zone, and a short narrative read aloud. Patent-safe — never names the signal or regime that moved the number.
What APOCALYPSE is not
It is not a financial advisory product. It does not recommend trades, positions, or hedges. It is a nowcast of systemic-tail-risk conditions published as a public research artifact, in the same spirit as a weather advisory: a number, a zone, a date, and a method-of-construction summary sufficient to evaluate the call after the fact.
It is also not a black box pretending to be transparent. Every published readout carries a run identifier; the provenance page shows exactly which inputs contributed and how the gating discipline accepted or rejected the candidate that day.
The training-and-gating discipline
Each day the system trains a candidate from scratch on the most recent validation window. The candidate is then evaluated against the previous canonical on a held-out slice. Promotion requires the candidate to clear four pre-registered gates — discrimination, calibration, false-alarm rate, and an anti-regression floor. If it fails, the previous canonical is retained, and the new candidate is logged for diagnostics. Nothing is published that hasn't been measured against what it would replace.

Most systemic-risk indices are released slowly, with quarterly cadence and significant revisions. APOCALYPSE was designed for the opposite regime: daily, with a fixed publishing time, no silent revisions, and a public provenance trail that survives the lifetime of the call. The goal is to make it as hard as possible for anyone — including the author — to retroactively adjust the story.

Patent and IP
APOCALYPSE™ is published by the APOCALYPSE Research Foundation under Patent Pending IE PTIE20260000000318. The public artifacts disclosed on this site — values, zones, dates, and the gating discipline summary — are intentionally limited to what is already covered in the public white paper. The full technical paper, with architectural and mathematical detail, will follow the patent grant.
