How the scores compare
The Voidly Atlas Score v2
Composite censorship score per country, 0–100, A–F grades. v2 fixes the v1 bug where chronic-blockers (RU, CN, KP) graded B− despite heavy structural censorship, because v1 over-weighted change-vs-level. v2 adds a 50% structural baseline so chronic blockers grade correctly.

Top grade movers (v1 → v2)
Countries whose letter grade changed when we switched from v1 (change-weighted) to v2 (level-aware). Positive = stricter (e.g. B− → F because chronic baseline now counts); negative = looser (e.g. D → C because acute spike was overweighted in v1).

Why v2 — fixing change-vs-level
v1 of the Atlas Score weighted CHANGE (forecast + trend + recent incidents) at 90% and LEVEL (calibration quality) at only 10%. The consequence: countries like Russia and China graded B− despite heavy ongoing censorship, simply because nothing was actively changing this week. Egypt and Iran — same risk tier but spiking — graded D−F.
v2 adds a 50% structural baseline component derived from the past 12 months of censorship-weighted incidents, with a curated risk-tier floor for probe-blind countries (KP, TM, ER). Censorship incidents are weighted 3× heavier than network disruptions to discount upstream-outage noise. Confidence is tracked separately (0–1 field) and does not add to the score.
| Component | Weight |
|---|---|
| Structural baseline (12mo censorship + tier floor) | 50 pts |
| 30-day average forecast probability | 20 pts |
| Current 7-day max risk (active spike) | 15 pts |
| 24h incident density | 10 pts |
| Anomaly disagreement signal | 5 pts |

v2 fixes v1's change-vs-level bug. Chronic-blocking countries (RU/CN/KP) now score high based on their 12-month baseline + curated risk tier. v1 remains live at /v1/atlas/score for backward compatibility.
