Understanding our data layers
- Verified outbreaks are confirmed by official health authorities, but our records may not reflect the latest official numbers
- Correlated signals and early signals are unverified reports from media and other sources — they are mentions, not confirmed outbreaks
- Signal activity reflects media mention volume, not disease incidence
- Predictive risk is generated by a rule-based model. Predictions are analytical forecasts, not confirmed events or medical advice
- Endemic zones indicate historical disease presence, not current risk

Analytical language
Throughout the platform, we use precise analytical language:
- "Mentions" are source reports, not independently verified cases
- "Signals" require analyst validation before being considered reliable
- "Forecasts" are model-based predictions, not confirmed events
- "Elevated risk" means increased model-estimated probability, not a confirmed outbreak
