01In brief

The short answer.

The Sovereign Capital Nexus source register lists the datasets and records the platform draws on, such as IFSWF member self-assessments and annual reviews, each with its producer, licence and permitted uses, quality and known gaps. A source is listed only once its terms permit the use described, and data held by agreement is used under those terms and never republished.

Financial source and licence register: systematic evidence synthesisA question is framed with its owner and a protocol registered; records are searched, screened and checked for eligibility by two reviewers; data are extracted, synthesised and graded for certainty before a brief is written. Design of the process, not a record of a run.

03Geography

Activity and exposure in the Gulf.

Night-time lights and population, a proxy for economic activity, with the floods and fires that put assets at risk, framed on the Gulf; each layer is a dated NASA product.
