Precision
The headline is stored to 1 decimal, as published.
Rounded by this site
Never. Tables on screen may show fewer decimals; the files never do.
Changed by this site
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.
Taken from the LPI’s own dataset on World Bank Data360 and stored unrounded. The survey LPI ended with 2023: the Bank’s 2025 replacement, LPI 2.0, is built on shipment tracking instead — a different instrument, deliberately not appended here.
