145        <h2>What We Do</h2>
146        <div class="a-box">
147          <p>Global Energy Flow (GEF) is an independent intelligence platform that tracks how disruptions in one part of the global energy system propagate through the rest. We focus on the operational reality of energy logistics — pipelines, storage facilities, maritime chokepoints, refineries, and consumer-facing fuel supply — rather than financial speculation or commodity-price forecasting.</p>
148          <p>Our coverage is built around the premise that no single number tells the whole story of an energy crisis. A spike in Brent crude is the surface signal; the substantive picture lives in how that pressure cascades through refining margins, jet-fuel availability, retail rationing, and country-level supply security. GEF is structured to make those cascades visible.</p>
149          <p>The site is updated daily, with editorial cadences ranging from real-time market and shipping data to weekly risk assessments.</p>

153      <div class="a-section">
154        <h2>Who It's For</h2>
155        <div class="a-box">
156          <p>GEF is built for readers who need to understand the energy system at an operational level: energy and commodity analysts, investors and traders, journalists covering geopolitics and supply chains, policymakers and government affairs teams, logistics and procurement professionals, and informed members of the public following a major disruption.</p>
157          <p>We do not assume specialist knowledge. Risk ratings, technical thresholds, and methodology are documented openly so that any reader can verify how a number or label was derived. See <a href="../methodology/">Methodology</a> for the full reference.</p>

161      <div class="a-section">
162        <h2>Editorial Team</h2>
163        <div class="a-box">
164          <p>GEF is produced by an independent editorial team with backgrounds in energy analysis, commodity markets, and open-source intelligence research. The team operates on a not-for-attribution basis: our editorial work speaks for itself rather than relying on individual authority, and our methodology is the standard by which our claims should be evaluated.</p>
165          <p>We are not affiliated with any energy company, government, political party, or financial institution. We do not accept sponsored content, paid placements, or commissioned analysis. The platform is independently operated and editorially independent.</p>
166          <p>For editorial queries, source tips, or correction requests, please <a href="../contact/">contact us</a>.</p>

202        <div class="a-box">
203          <p>The current editorial scope covers six interconnected domains: crude and refined-product markets (Brent, WTI, distillate cracks); pipeline operational status (Druzhba, Nord Stream, BTC, TurkStream, CPC, Trans-Mountain, and major regional networks); strategic and commercial storage (EU gas via GIE AGSI+, US SPR, commercial inventories); fuel shortages at the country level (active disruptions, watch-status countries, two-week confirmation rule); maritime logistics (Hormuz, Suez, Bab el-Mandeb, Malacca, Panama traffic and tanker clusters); and weekly risk assessments synthesising the above into structured market-intelligence briefings.</p>
204          <p>The current editorial focus reflects the operational state of the global energy system during the ongoing Strait of Hormuz crisis, which began on February 28, 2026. Coverage priorities are reviewed weekly and expanded as new disruptions emerge.</p>
