Scores are stress readings out of 100; higher means more stress. Most indicators update annually or quarterly, so a large movement usually marks a new official release entering the index, not a change that happened within the month.
London · measured
5 systems under review, London
Each figure is a stress score from 0 to 100. Higher means more stress, so the most stressed systems sit at the top.
Rows link to the UK-level detail page (per-region detail is a later phase). Scores shown are London-specific.
Weighting
What drives the headline figure
The headline is a weighted reading across all systems. This shows which carry the most weight once their stress score and domain weight are combined.

Systemic risk
Systemic Risk Penalty
No systemic risk penalty applied this release; fewer than three domains are in the Critical band. The penalty activates when three or more domains simultaneously reach Critical (+5 pts) or Crisis (+10 pts), reflecting the increased probability that concurrent failures become self-reinforcing.
The monthly reading
Follow the number over time
A single reading is a snapshot. The value is in the direction of travel. Once a month we send the new national score, what moved, and the sharpest findings from the data, with every figure traceable to its official source.
Data provenance
8 of 8 indicators are drawn from verified official sources, each labelled on its metric card. The remaining 0 are provisional placeholders, marked as seed where they appear, because no clean official figure is published yet; placeholders are shown for transparency and are excluded from all scoring.
