Over time

The arc matters as much as the latest number. Stressor pressure is the one metric we can already track quarter to quarter for every state.

Pollination & opportunity

The opportunity index keeps Oklahoma's crop demand, regional pollination fee, local colony supply, and colony health pressure visible as separate weighted inputs.
