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

How values are stored

One year of the 2025 release

Values are stored exactly as published, to 2 decimals. 3 countries share 2.86. Countries sharing a value share a position too.
The position is ours
IFHV publishes values only; the order is this site’s.
Nothing missing
