Capabilities
Foundry is built from 20 technical systems, each with a defined contribution and a defined limit. This page, published by The Global Centre for Risk and Innovation (GCRI), groups the systems by capability and states the access boundary of each. Foundry is operated at national and regional level by Nexus Consortiums through their host and lead organisations, within a multilateral programme led by GCRI, The Global Risks Forum (GRF) and The Global Risks Alliance (GRA). Information and enquiries are open today.
Capabilities in three parts.
Twenty systems in seven capability groups.
Each system states what it cannot do.
| System | Contribution | Boundary |
|---|---|---|
| Nexus | Portfolio and institutional project coordination | No substitute for external decision authority |
| NXS-NST | Common operating picture and field coordination | Civilian scope only |
| DSS | Scenarios, options, uncertainty and decision analysis | Analysis is not the decision |
| NXS-GRX | Data, ontology, evidence, lineage and risk products | Source rights and limitations persist |
| EWS | Forecast verification and warning support | Issuing warnings stays with authorised parties |
| AAP | Trigger evaluation and preparedness | No automatic release of funds or dispatch |
| SIG | Authorised signal and positioning integrity observation | No unauthorised collection |
| Rails | Protocols, obligations, handoffs and receipts | A receipt is not settlement or external acceptance |
| Portals | Public and audience-specific delivery | Publication never overrides source permission |
| Labs | Reproducible research, testbeds and benchmarks | Experiment results are not certification |
The full directory, with every system, is on technical systems.
Capabilities are reached through authorised projects.
No system is open to the public by default. Access requires an authorised project with an accountable owner, data terms and a review plan, and the policy gates of NXS-NSF decide each request. A membership, a payment or an infrastructure offer is not an allocation.
Questions and answers.
Can I use one system on its own?
Are the systems available now?
Who decides what a system may do?
Where can I ask about a capability?
Bring a method, a dataset or a question.
Information and enquiries are open today. An enquiry receives a reference and names the next step; applications, payments, compute allocations and registrations open only when their team, terms and review capacity exist.
