LU — 4% risk
A seven-day view of the current regime, with drivers and supporting evidence. This is not a shutdown-onset prediction.
90% conformal interval: [0%, 39%] — empirical coverage 90.3% (target 90%).
Per-day risk
Dashed line: 50% threshold. Bars colored by risk band.
Reading this forecast & citation
The Voidly Sentinel model scores LU at a peak 4.0% shutdown-risk level over the next 7 days, highest on day 5 (Thu, Oct 8). Average across the window: 2%. This is a current-regime risk reading, not a prediction that a new shutdown will start — see the scope note below.
Honest scope: this is a current-regime risk signal, not a shutdown-onset predictor. It reliably flags countries already in a sustained blocking regime; on the days a new shutdown actually begins its skill is at/below chance (transition-row AUC ~0.33). Why →

Honest caveats
- Calibration was refit on 2026-05-20 on 810 live outcomes — it's good for the 30 watched censoring countries but will drift if the world changes. Nightly recalibration runs at 04:30 UTC.
- A 70% forecast doesn't mean a shutdown is guaranteed; a 20% forecast doesn't mean it's safe. The 90% conformal interval is the honest uncertainty band.
- For long-form methodology see /methodology and the calibration refit finding.
