Additional checks

0 flagged · 2/9 assessed

These checks add context that the overall score can miss. Select a check to see its result, the evidence behind it, and whether enough information was available to assess it.

Data-based checks

These two checks run automatically from the five pillars and public source data.

Case-specific checks

These checks describe structural risk. They do not predict who will act first in a conflict. Differences smaller than 0.03 are treated as too close to rank when countries are compared head-to-head.
