NATO
North Atlantic Treaty Organization — A military alliance of North American and European states bound by collective defense.
Coverage of NATO is rising : 13 signals on the latest tracked day, up 160% from its three-week baseline of 5, across 5 domains (down from 6 a week ago). That makes it the #81 most-covered of the 274 concerns we track.
If NATO matters to your work, coverage is climbing off its baseline — worth a closer-than-usual look this week.
What’s changed
5 of the last 7 tracked days ran above the three-week baseline — a sustained move, not a one-day spike.
