What this site does
It answers "what is happening with North Korea right now?" and "will there be a war?" on one screen. Korean and English headlines are collected every five minutes; market, prediction-market, reconnaissance-aircraft and official-alert data are added; and once an hour a Korea Threat Index (KTI, 1–5) is assessed. The assessment is produced automatically by a large language model under fixed rules and always carries source links. Article bodies are never stored, only titles and links to the original.

Limits
KTI is an estimate. Official alerts come from the Korean Ministry of the Interior and Safety and the Joint Chiefs of Staff. If the operating machine is offline the assessment may lag, and the board then shows an "assessment delayed" badge. The news feed keeps updating regardless.
