How this is counted
Counted by the date each incident was first reported. The bar that holds today is marked to date and is not compared. Every bar and number opens the incidents it counts.
Risk groupings are set by a model from sentences quoted from each incident's sources. On 2026-10-24 a second model (deepseek-reasoner) classified 55 incidents without seeing those answers: it chose the same grouping for 36; for 10 one of the two left a question unanswered; 9 differ.
