The recurring product

Red Sea Monitor

Monthly, on a fixed day, with the same three questions every time: what changed in the corridor, what it means, and what to watch next.

01The method

Data first, prose second

The strip is the headline: one cell per month, coloured by the corridor’s severity reading on the Institute’s four-level scale. The prose explains the strip — it never replaces it. Each edition closes with the indicators that will decide next month’s reading, so subscribers can watch the corridor between editions.

  • 01

    What changed

    Incidents, movements and signals recorded across the corridor this month.

  • 02

    What it means

    The severity reading, argued from that record rather than asserted.

  • 03

    What to watch

    The indicators that will decide next month’s reading.
