Border skirmish contained
A militant attack or LoC incident triggers limited Indian military response (surgical strikes analogous to Balakot 2019). Pakistan responds but both sides accept de-escalation through back-channel diplomacy. Crisis managed within 2-4 weeks.

Policy lens —The Balakot template — India strikes across the LoC, Pakistan responds, DGMO hotline used to signal escalation ceiling — remains the dominant crisis management model. US back-channel and UAE mediation were decisive in 2019; the question is whether the same channels remain open and whether India's domestic politics allow early de-escalation before the 2019 playbook can operate.
Trade lens —Short-term risk-off for Indian markets (Sensex -5 to -8%). INR weakens. Reversal within 2-4 weeks if contained. Indian defense procurement accelerates post-crisis.
