Numbered pins are news stories clustered by X from posts over the last few days. Colour is the category. A hollow ring means the story names no place, so the pin sits at the company or institution HQ.
★ marks a claim that is unverified or only reported. Treat it with care.
Lines join related stories. Solid lines mean one story likely affects the other, dashed lines mean they share a company, person or event. Hover a line to see why.
Ripple effects: open a story and press "Show ripple effects" to watch the chain of knock-on effects it could set off, hop by hop. Each hop is marked Sourced (a story on the map backs it up, with a link) or Inferred (our own reasoning, not yet sourced), plus a confidence level. Inferred hops are reasoning, not reporting.
Macro impact: stories that touch the economy carry a tag for the theme (oil and energy, inflation, rates, currencies, stocks, trade, growth and jobs, housing, tourism), an arrow for the direction, the region and a one-line reason. Sourced means the story text says it. Inferred means our own reasoning. Figures are shown only when they appear in story text. Turn on Macro view to dim everything else. This is news interpretation, not financial advice.
Newspaper icons show today's lead headlines from each paper's own homepage or RSS feed (text and links only). Thin grey lines join a headline to the map story it matches.
Evidence check: each story shows how many X posts sit behind it and on how many newspaper front pages it also appears. That is a count of what we found, not proof that the story is true. Only the 25 papers on the map are checked.
Heat: turn on "Heat" to shade countries by how many stories sit there. Stories placed at a company HQ, or only at a region, are not counted.
Share: use the Share button on a story or ripple chain to get a preview image and a link that previews well on X.
Story summaries are generated by X and can contain mistakes. Always open the source posts.
