04Caveats

Read before you use

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

The site’s method

166 distinct values among 168
Values are stored exactly as published, to 2 decimals. 2 countries share 69.94. Countries sharing a value share a position too.
Which end is better
Neither end is better. The values describe a shape, not a score.
2 empty cells

What this site changed: Reshaped into one row per country: regional and income-group totals are left out, only the columns listed are kept, each row gets its ISO 3166 code, and some country names are brought to one spelling. No value is recalculated, rescaled or rounded.
