Five chokepoint dashboards anchored to the right contract
Hormuz · Bab-el-Mandeb · Suez · Singapore · Bosphorus. Each card shows live tanker count, the rolling-30-day baseline, the standard-deviation Z-score, anchored count, and the implied move on the right futures (Brent for Hormuz / Bab / Suez / Singapore, CBOT wheat for Bosphorus, Henry Hub for the LNG-flagged Hormuz traffic). Click the anchor instrument row and the workspace symbol jumps. Tab strip swaps between chokepoints in one click; the camera glides to the polygon when you do.
Click any pipeline · refinery · LNG terminal · sanctioned country — workspace symbol jumps
32 pipelines (Druzhba → Brent, Yamal-Europe → TTF, Power of Siberia → JKM, Colonial → RBOB, Trans-Alaska → WTI, …), 49 refineries (US → RBOB gasoline, Europe / Asia → Brent, Venezuela → WTI), 73 LNG terminals (US export → Henry Hub, European import → TTF, Asian import → JKM), and 8 active sanctions regimes (Russia → BZ, Iran → BZ, Venezuela → CL, …) all click-to-trade. 192+ infrastructure points, every one anchored to a tradable instrument.
Anomaly scanner — global headline + audio cue + polygon glow
When any chokepoint's tanker density crosses 2.5 standard deviations versus the rolling baseline, the map raises a critical-tier audio cue, glows the polygon outline in alert orange, surfaces a one-line headline at the top, and auto-promotes that chokepoint to the active card. Click the headline → workspace symbol jumps to the anchor. Throttled to one cue per chokepoint per 10 minutes so persistent anomalies don't spam.
Strike-radius scenario tool — Shift+click anywhere, see the exposure inside
Drop a 100 km great-circle ring at any lat/lon. The aggregates panel shows infrastructure exposure inside: vessels by type, refinery capacity in K BPD, LNG capacity in MTPA, fab count. The geopolitical scenario-planning tool — drop a circle on Hsinchu and see TSMC fabs at risk; drop on the Strait of Hormuz and see tanker concentration plus refinery capacity exposed. Escape clears.
Drag-to-rotate 3D globe view
Toggle the GLOBE chip in the layers ribbon. The map flips to an orthographic 3D sphere with country fills, graticule, chokepoint glows, and the day/night terminator — all with back-face culling so the back hemisphere is correctly hidden. Drag anywhere to rotate. Toggle off to return to the 2D map. Free tier feature.
Sanctioned-flag vessel ring — flag-of-record detection on the live AIS
Tankers whose AIS MMSI starts with a sanctioned-jurisdiction prefix (Russia, Iran, North Korea, Venezuela, Belarus, Cuba, Syria, Myanmar) get a red highlight ring on the sprite. Visual scan of which sanctioned tonnage is on the move. Honest framing in the methodology footer — this is flag-of-record, not full ownership-chain detection.
Anomaly fire log — chronological history of regime changes
Every critical-tier anomaly (the same trigger that fires the audio cue) gets logged into a chronological panel on the right side. Time-ago tag, chokepoint name, Z-score, anchor symbol, vessel count. Click any entry to drill back to the chokepoint and the anchor instrument. Up to 20 entries kept; auto-rotates older ones out.
Methodology footer — honest about which baseline backs the Z-score
Every chokepoint card displays which baseline backed the Z-score: literature average (the first hour of a session), session-rolling (after enough in-session samples accrue), or persisted rolling-30-day (once enough server-side history is in place). The card honestly tells the trader whether to trust the number for live trading versus orientation.
