04Caveats

Read before you use

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

The site’s method

The position is ours
UIS 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.
Nothing missing
Every one of the 160 countries has every column.
