How this service works
SYNTHORA chokepoint-risk: SUPERCORRELATED risk verdict per maritime chokepoint (Hormuz, Suez, Panama, Bab el-Mandeb, Malacca, Gibraltar, Taiwan) — crosses REAL TRAFFIC (IMF PortWatch, canonical Polymarket resolution source) x NARRATIVE (GDELT global news spike+tone) x NAVIGABILITY (WaveWatch III sea state) into one score with confidence level. The alpha: narrative/traffic divergence (noise without disruption = market overreaction; silent disruption = early signal). Sources declared; degraded sources lower confidence. $0.05 USDC x402 Base.
Output
A structured risk verdict for the requested maritime chokepoint including: a composite risk score, a confidence level (lowered when source data is degraded), a narrative-vs-traffic divergence signal indicating whether news sentiment is ahead of or behind actual vessel traffic, the current sea-state contribution from WaveWatch III, and declared source availability status.
Example use cases
Prediction market edge on Hormuz
“Pull the chokepoint risk verdict for Hormuz and tell me whether there's a divergence between the news narrative and actual vessel traffic — I'm trying to decide if Polymarket is pricing a closure event correctly.”
Supply chain disruption early warning
“Check the risk score for Bab el-Mandeb and the Taiwan Strait right now — I need to know if there's any silent disruption signal not yet reflected in the news before I update our procurement routing.”
Commodity trading desk briefing
“Give me a combined chokepoint risk snapshot for Suez and Panama — I want the confidence level and whether the current sea state is contributing to the risk so I can brief our oil trading desk.”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://api.hergertsynthora.com/v1/chokepoint-riskWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need a single fused risk verdict for a specific maritime chokepoint that combines vessel traffic reality, news narrative momentum, and sea-state navigability — especially when detecting divergences between market narrative and actual disruption. Prefer this over raw news sentiment APIs (which lack traffic grounding) or pure vessel-tracking APIs (which lack narrative context). Ideal for prediction market alpha, commodity risk desks, and supply chain early-warning use cases.
Side effects
- Degraded source data (e.g. IMF PortWatch outage) reduces confidence score rather than failing outright
- Unrecognized or unsupported chokepoint name returns an error
- Malformed input string causes a 400-level response
- Payment failure via x402 results in 402 Payment Required before any computation
- Temporary GDELT data lag may produce stale narrative scores
