Warconomy organizes the economic impact of conflict into connected channels: conflicts, sanctions, chokepoints, commodities, defense spending, and reconstruction/frozen assets — each resolving to source-linked figures via the trust surfaces. This map shows how the channels relate so you can move from a question to the right page. It is a relationship map derived from how the data links together, not a causal-attribution model: a connection here means 'tracked alongside', not 'caused by'.
- Six connected channels, each linking to its dashboards and topic pages.
- A relationship map, not a causal-attribution model; partial coverage.
- Every channel resolves to source-linked figures via the trust surfaces.
Channels
Conflicts → reconstruction & commodity prices
Wars drive reconstruction needs and are tracked alongside food and energy commodity prices — channels, not causes.
Sanctions → energy trade, shadow fleet & frozen assets
Sanctions reshape energy trade, shipping, and sovereign assets; an economic-impact reference, not legal advice.
Sanctions dashboard · Russian energy trade · Shadow fleet · Frozen assets
Chokepoints → oil, shipping & commodities
Chokepoint risk is tracked alongside oil transit volumes and benchmark prices; not a live vessel tracker.
Chokepoints dashboard · Chokepoint rankings · Oil benchmarks
Commodities → food, energy & fertilizer channels
Oil, gas, and food benchmarks transmit shocks to households and industry; market benchmarks, not causal attributions.
Defense spending → fiscal & security channel
Conflict and threat perception drive military expenditure; tracked from SIPRI/NATO annual reporting.
Trust surfaces → how every channel is sourced
Every figure resolves to a cited source with coverage, review, maintenance, and source-quality surfaces.

Key terms
- Price transmission — How a shock in one market (e.g. a chokepoint disruption) passes through to prices elsewhere (fuel, freight, food). Warconomy describes transmission associatively, not as precise causation.
- Commodity shock — A sharp move in a commodity price (oil, gas, food) often associated with conflict, sanctions, or supply disruption. Warconomy tracks the price benchmarks, not a causal attribution to any single event.
- Citation graph — A deterministic node/edge graph (graph.json) connecting pages, observations, facts, sources, dashboards, series, and the dataset — for AI and tooling.
Limitations
- A relationship map, not a causal-attribution model.
- Partial coverage — not every channel or linkage is represented.
- Connections mean “tracked alongside”, not “caused by”.
- Not real-time; values resolve to manually maintained source-linked figures.
Frequently asked questions
- Does the map show causation?
- No. It is a relationship map derived from how Warconomy's data links together. A connection means 'tracked alongside', not 'caused by' — it is not a causal-attribution model.
- Is coverage complete?
- No. Coverage is partial and not every channel or linkage is represented. Every channel resolves to source-linked figures via the trust surfaces.
