The model
9 discrete triggers, weighted by blast radius, feed 6 feedback loops that compound against 5 slow-moving amplifiers. The result is a single composite stress index between 0 and 100. Not a probability. Not a forecast.
Triggers fire
9 discrete events with current marginal probabilities, weighted ×1, ×2, or ×3 by blast radius.
Loops propagate
6 feedback pathways carry stress from one trigger to others — the configuration is more than the sum of its parts.
Amplifiers compound
5 slow-moving state variables (valuation, concentration, CRE wall, IG supply, stablecoin backstop) decide how much pain the system absorbs.

Cross-family validation
Routine changes require 2-of-3 within tolerance across independent model families. Tier-1 material changes and amplifier policy-band crossings require 3-of-4 within tolerance plus stronger source evidence. The server independently verifies the rule, votes, evidence links, parameter version, and prior state; all accepted changes are written to the auditable forecast log →.
