The Palanor Indices
Anyone can show you CPI. Anyone can show you the VIX. Palanor builds composites — transparently disclosed, weight-by-weight, with public-source components.
Worldwide search attention on the named flashpoints that are most likely to move markets.
Stewards do not need to track every geopolitical news cycle. They need to know when one is suddenly arriving. Geopolitical Anxiety composites worldwide search attention on four named flashpoints — Taiwan, China-broad-war language, the Red Sea, and Russia sanctions — into a single read of how loudly the world is paying attention.
Spikes are common; what matters is the slope and the persistence. A 2-week elevated reading is a news cycle. A 6-week elevated reading is a regime shift. Cassian tracks the named procurement decisions that often precede the 6-week-elevated case.
Every component, every weight. The 30-day spark shows how the underlying series has moved; the transform column shows how it converts to a comparable scale before weighting. Direction indicates whether rising values raise or lower the index.
