A living picture of where global risk is concentrating — updated continuously, built for the people who have to act on it.
The WEF Global Risks Report is published once a year. Global risk does not pause between editions. Marshall doesn't either.
Get Early AccessMarshall is a continuously updated country risk scoring system that assesses national vulnerability across a structured subset of the WEF's 33 global risk categories. Economic instability, state fragility, infectious disease burden, food insecurity, armed conflict exposure, displacement pressure, and institutional resilience — scored, weighted, and updated as conditions change.
The WEF Global Risks Report is the best annual snapshot available. Marshall makes it a living document. When a coup attempt fails in a monitored country, Marshall's political stability score updates within hours. When a regional disease cluster appears in Snow's feed, it flows into Marshall's infectious disease dimension. When sanctions regimes shift, the economic vulnerability scores recalibrate.
Built for the people who actually have to make decisions under uncertainty — not the people who write reports about decisions, but the policy makers, NGO directors, economists, researchers, and institutional leaders who need to know where risk is concentrating and why, right now.
"Our policy is directed not against any country or doctrine but against hunger, poverty, desperation, and chaos."
George C. Marshall, Harvard Commencement Address, 1947
George Marshall served as US Army Chief of Staff through World War II, then as Secretary of State under Truman. In 1947, he proposed what became the European Recovery Program — the Marshall Plan — which directed $13 billion in American aid toward rebuilding Western Europe's devastated economies.
The Marshall Plan worked not because of its generosity but because of its analytical rigor. Before disbursing aid, Marshall's State Department assessed which countries needed what, in what sequence, with what institutional conditions attached. It was risk intelligence applied to reconstruction at continental scale.
Marshall the product is named for that tradition: intelligence in service of resilience. Not threat assessment for its own sake, but risk understanding oriented toward the question of what to do about it and where to direct resources to reduce human suffering most effectively.
The Marshall Country Resilience Database scores 217 countries across five domains — Societal, Economic, Geopolitical, Technological, and Environmental — anchored to the WEF Global Risks Framework. Each profile includes raw indicator data, normalized scores, domain interpretations, and sensitivity analysis.
