On each dial, the colored arc shows that measure's own bands, the ticks show its units, and the needle is the current reading. Read a sign by which colored range its needle points into.

No validated composite of civilizational health exists, so these eight are heterogeneous proxies on different scales and update cycles and cannot be summed into one score. The framework reads each as a band to hold rather than a number to maximize, and the honest reading is the weakest sign, because a civilization is only as survivable as its most breached vital sign. The thresholds shown are reasoned starting points, firmest for the established measures and more provisional for attention sovereignty and biological resilience. Each reading is dated and linked to its source below, and the whole panel is generated from a single data file, so any sign can be refreshed on its own cadence. Snapshot: June 2026.
