Multi-horizon shutdown forecast
Pakistan — three honest horizons
How shutdown risk for Pakistan evolves over 1 day, 7 days, and 30 days. Each horizon uses its own XGBoost model with per-horizon SHAP attribution and a 90% conformal interval.

Consistency check
OK — monotonicP(1d) ≤ P(7d) ≤ P(30d)
The three horizons are internally consistent: longer windows capture at least the risk of shorter windows. This is the expected behavior — a 30-day window must contain any 7-day or 1-day shutdown.
36.4% ≤ 58.8% ≤ 82.6%
Top-5 SHAP features per horizon
Each horizon has its own learned drivers. Positive SHAP values push the prediction up; negative values push it down. Features differ across horizons because near-term risk responds to acute signals, while month-out risk responds to slower structural factors.

Honest caveats
- Each horizon is a separate XGBoost model with its own features and its own honest evaluation. LOCO AUC across spotlight countries: 1d
0.91· 7d0.88· 30d0.84. - 30-day forecasts inherently have wider conformal intervals (more time = more uncertainty). A wide interval is not a bug — it's honesty.
- These numbers are not guarantees. A 70% probability does not mean a shutdown is certain; a 20% probability does not mean you're safe.
