Horizon synthesis and use
- Maritime and energy scenarios should reflect a renewed escalation path rather than assuming the previous lull persists. Sanctions, oil-price, freight and insurance effects can move before physical operating conditions change. Commercial teams should avoid firm delivery or travel assumptions based on one day of calmer headlines.
