How to read the VegaReady dashboard
A guide to understanding the intelligence dashboard — what each section tracks, how confidence ratings work, and how to interpret the data.
The VegaReady dashboard is organized around the cascade methodology — tracking how a single global event transmits through multiple market sectors. Here’s how to navigate it.
The War Room
The War Room is the priority intelligence feed. Items are auto-pinned by severity and ranked by recency. Each entry includes a confidence rating (H/M/L), a source citation, and a war day reference. Think of it as the executive summary — if you only check one section, check this one.
Gulf Countries
Individual country pages for UAE, Qatar, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Oman, and Iraq. Each tracks daily interception data, damage assessments, and defense system performance. The cumulative delta column shows how each metric has changed since the conflict began.
Economics
The economic transmission path — from the event through oil prices, refinery shutdowns, force majeure declarations, and Hormuz risk premiums. This is where you see how a military event becomes a commodity price movement.
Markets
Shipping insurance, vessel attacks, bunker fuel prices, GCC equity selloffs, sovereign CDS spreads, and container freight rates. This section tracks the second-order effects — how the economic disruption flows into financial instruments.
Confidence ratings
Every data point carries a confidence level:
- H (High) — multiple corroborating sources, official confirmation, or direct observation
- M (Medium) — single credible source, or multiple sources with minor discrepancies
- L (Low) — unconfirmed reports, single-source claims, or social media without verification
Items marked n/r (not reported) are explicitly different from zero — they mean no data was available for that day, not that nothing happened.
Data freshness
The dashboard updates three times daily via an AI-powered pipeline that scans source feeds, extracts structured data, and verifies every entry against conflict phase constraints and plausibility checks.
