Official evidence layer

Taiwanese primary sources, separated from interpretation.

Keyless official feeds provide observable facts. Zerion reviews those facts alongside methodology and context before changing a published assessment.

Research Architecture

What the current release establishes

The model separates security, technology, trade, energy, logistics, and financial pressure so the overall score remains decomposable.
Signals retain explicit source relationships and confidence labels instead of being flattened into an unexplained number.
Snapshot, workbench, and source-registry contracts are available as versioned JSON endpoints.

Why It Matters

Strategic interpretation

Taiwan sits at the intersection of semiconductor concentration, regional security, energy import dependence, and trade-route sensitivity.
A small change in one domain can transmit into supply chains, market pricing, logistics costs, and paradigm exposure.
Zerion Intelligence should make those connections legible without pretending that uncertainty can be removed.

Exposure map

Paradigms and industries affected.

The first version avoids false precision. It names exposure categories that a later signal engine can score with source-backed evidence.

Signals

Defined signals and evidence requirements.

Each signal states what should be monitored and which evidence category should support it. Current directions remain demonstration values, not live findings.

PAR exposure

From signals to investment research.

PAR exposure maps the research questions into companies, assets, industries, and paradigms without turning an intelligence monitor into an automatic recommendation engine.
