Unlike news alerts that expire after 72 hours, policy adjustments persist as long as the policy is in effect and continue to modify GDI risk scores. Each policy includes the affected GDI pillar, score modifier, effective date, and source event. Used by procurement teams navigating tariff exposure, compliance officers tracking sanctions, and sup
