This dashboard is an MVP framing layer. It pairs the ACLED Conflict Index dimensions — deadliness, danger to civilians, geographic diffusion, and armed-group fragmentation — with UCDP categories of organized violence: state-based, non-state, and one-sided.
Source-backed fields
- ACLED indicator ranks (deadliness, danger, diffusion, fragmentation) and overall rank.
- UCDP active-conflict flags by category.
- Source name, link, and last refresh date.
App-derived display fields
- risk_band — Extreme / High / Elevated / Monitor / Low Visibility.
- trend_direction — Worsening / Stable / Improving.
- civilian_risk_level — Severe / High / Moderate / Low.
- primary_violence_type — display label inferred from the active UCDP mix.
These display fields are useful UI abstractions and should not be cited as ACLED or UCDP measurements.
Refresh model
The MVP ships with a static seed of 24 countries. A planned adapter will import ACLED indicator ranks and UCDP category flags on a weekly cadence, then recompute only derived UI fields, preserving a clean separation between source data and app logic.
