Horizon synthesis and use
- Diplomatic progress and safe commercial transit must be monitored as separate indicators. Qatar’s mediation role may support dialogue, but it does not remove current maritime or travel contingencies. Shipping commitments should be tied to carrier, maritime-authority and insurer confirmation rather than headline optimism.
