Pick a chokepoint or country, set how much capacity survives and for how many weeks, and the model replays which nations run short, how prices clear and how stockpiles drain. It runs on 2025 UN Comtrade crude oil flows and comes with an arXiv paper.

Notes

Labelled a stress test, not a forecast; sanctioned or unreported trade is missing. AI use comes from the maker's HN post ('LLM assisted visualization'), not from the page. Needs WebGL.

Source checked 2026-10-16. Descriptions summarize the maker's own account, not independent testing.
