Read before you use

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

The site’s method

One year of the 2026 release
Every year in this series comes from World Bank Group’s 2026 release, recalculated on one method. It can differ from what was first published for 2016.
166 distinct values among 167
Values are stored exactly as published, to 13 decimals. 2 countries share 42.699. 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 better result.
Nothing missing
Every one of the 167 countries has every column.
