Sharing the Burden: Preparing for Maritime Security Competition in the Indo-Pacific
Open accessAbstract
Variations of these questions are being considered by a host of regional actors, not least other countries that constitute the Quad; South Korea and Taiwan; Southeast Asian states; and European maritime powers, such as France and the United Kingdom. A systematic comparison of current maritime capabilities and posture can offer important insights as they contend with these questions.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
