Chart
Interpretation & scoring
Direction: Lower = weaker activity. Below 50 signals contraction in the survey, not necessarily recession.
Stress metric: Level vs. 50 (lower = more stress).
Mapping: indicator-specific thresholds (piecewise linear). Metric values 58.00 → 51.00 → 48.00 → 45.00 → 40.00 map to stress 0 → 50 (Watch) → 75 (Elevated) → 90 (Severe) → 100.
50 separates expansion from contraction in the survey, but readings of 45-50 have frequently occurred without recession, so the Watch band starts just above 50 and Severe only below 45.
