Building a security risk map site, would you ever pay for something like this?

I’ve been building a map-based web that shows country-level risk scores.

Right now it uses my own scoring framework, based on government advisories, info from credible institutions, and analysis of recent news coverage.
The current version is basically focused on geopolitical/security risk, with country pages, source-backed articles, and a ranking/map view.

What I’m trying to figure out now is the actual product direction.
I’m considering expanding it beyond just conflict/security stuff and adding things like:
natural disaster risk + trade / tariff / sanctions-related risk + economic instability + business travel / mobility risk

The main question is: does this actually sound useful to anyone in a way that people would pay for?
Not asking for fake encouragement, I’m genuinely trying to understand whether this feels like:

  1. an interesting but mostly “look at it once” project, or
  2. something that could become a real tool for teams / travelers / businesses

Would especially love feedback on:
- what would make it genuinely useful instead of just another info site
- what kind of feature would make you pay for it, if any

Still figuring out whether this should stay a public map/news product or become something more practical.

your feedback helped me stop building on vibes and actually define the project

your feedback helped me stop building on vibes and actually define the project

A little update since my last post here.

I got way more feedback than I expected, and honestly it helped a lot. A lot of the comments made me realize I was still half-building the project on instinct, half on scattered ideas. So I went back and tried to tighten the whole thing up properly.

The biggest change is that I spent time figuring out "what Atlas actually is supposed to be". It’s not just “a nuclear site” anymore. I’m trying to shape it into something broader and more useful around geopolitical & security risk signals, with a clearer identity and a more serious tone.

Since the last post, I’ve been working on stuff like:

  • defining the scoring logic for security risk more clearly
  • making the methodology less vague and more explainable
  • showing exact news/source citations more properly instead of just implying where things came from
  • trying to make the whole site feel less like a random experiment and more like a credible tool

What’s funny is I started this casually, just as a side project. I thought would be interesting to make. But the more I work on it, the more I feel like “okay, this could actually help people understand messy global situations a bit better,” and that’s been a surprisingly satisfying reason to keep going.. So yeah, thanks again for the feedback on the previous post. It genuinely pushed the project in a better direction.
Still very much building, still refining, still open to criticism. If you check it out, I’d love more thoughts 👍
Atlas is here.
