CEV-OS TRIPWIRE: incidents tagged with affected assets

CEV-OS TRIPWIRE is the CEV-OS name for an incident feed used by Cutting Edge Ventures. It is not CISA/DHS TRIPwire, not Semper Incolumem Tripwire, and not tripwire.world. The public machine interface is GET /v1/incident-assets (MCP tool get_incident_assets). The map UI on cev-os.com stays login-gated.

What a record is

Each incident is built only from commercially usable feeds, coarsened to a country and a broad region (no coordinates or place names), and may carry rule-based asset_tags. Tags are exposures, not predictions. Many incidents have no tag. No prices are returned.

Severity scale

Severity is an integer from 1 (lowest) to 5 (highest) as scored by the CEV-OS TRIPWIRE rules on the source event. Filter with min_severity. It is not a forecast of market impact.

Illustrative natural-hazard example

Shape only — not a live event and not a claim that this earthquake occurred. A USGS-style record looks like:

{
  "id": "example_hazard_not_a_live_event",
  "type": "natural_hazard",
  "subtype": "earthquake",
  "country": "Japan",
  "region": "East Asia",
  "started_at": "2026-10-16T00:00:00.000Z",
  "updated_at": "2026-10-16T00:00:00.000Z",
  "severity": 3,
  "confidence": 0.8,
  "asset_tags": [
    { "asset": "Equities (broad)", "kind": "equity", "why": "Illustrative: a large earthquake in an industrial country is tagged as a possible equity exposure" }
  ],
  "sources": [
    { "feed": "usgs", "url": "https://earthquake.usgs.gov/", "license": "US Government work (public domain)", "attribution": "U.S. Geological Survey" }
  ]
}

What it does not do

• It does not predict prices or name “what will move.” Tags are exposures.
• It does not publish coordinates, street addresses, or personal data.
• It does not include finance, crypto or Yahoo series. Those belong to other CEV-OS products, not TRIPWIRE.
• GDACS rows are not for life-safety use.
