03Caveats

Read before you use

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

The site’s method

  • Readings from many years

    Each country’s newest reading as of 2026, from 2009 to 2026. 9 are more than ten years older than the file: listed and marked, but left out of the ends and the changes.

  • 178 distinct values among 181

    Values are stored exactly as published, to 10 decimals. Countries sharing a value share a position too.

  • The position is ours

    World Bank Group 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 worse result.

  • Nothing missing

    Every one of the 181 countries has every column.
