Methodology and validation
The assessment compares the latest source observation with BDPolicyLab analytical monitoring bands. For this detector, lower readings indicate greater stress; the internal analytical cutoffs are 27.0%, 35.0%, 50.0%, 70.0%. The score is a level-anchored piecewise-linear transformation with state bands at 20, 40, 60, and 85. The indicator's primary source is identified with the evidence in this card. Forecast ranges are published only as calibrated 80% predictive intervals with an explicit source time unit.
