Topics and parameters
Every SOW topic is available through one structured selector. Pillar headings, colours and coverage labels separate complete global maps from limited-evidence maps.
Comprehensive Development Index
Point to a country for value, rank, structural coverage and confidence. Data-void regions are never scored as zero.
Grey hatching denotes insufficient data and is outside the score scale. The optional boundary/status overlay identifies catalogued international disputes and special-status areas using approximate contextual indicators. It is not a legal demarcation or a sovereignty judgment.
Purpose
Measure substantive freedom, capability and genuine choice through effective enablement, practical facilitation, sustainability and constrained exclusion.
Components
- Effective enablement
- Practical facilitation
- Sustainability and institutional reliability
- Constrained exclusion penalty
Aggregation
CDI = 0.55E + 0.30F + 0.15S minus an evidence-based constrained-exclusion penalty. Raw participation is diagnostic and does not enter the headline score directly.
Minimum coverage
Enablement and facilitation are mandatory. Constrained-exclusion estimates require direct barrier evidence; missing evidence is disclosed.
