03Caveats

Read before you use

What this edition’s numbers are and are not, worked out from the file itself.

The site’s method

146 distinct values among 201
Values are stored exactly as published, to 3 decimals. 49 countries share 0.000. Countries sharing a value share a position too.
The position is ours
Ember publishes values only. The order here sorts the published values, and the page says so wherever it prints one.
Which end is better
A higher value is the better result.
14 empty cells
An empty cell means the publisher gave no figure. It is never a zero.
