Comparison workspace

Hold one metric frame constant across every selected country.

The compare view is built for faster analytical review. It keeps one methodology basis in place so differences come from the countries, not from moving assumptions.

What this matrix is for

Use it to separate shortlist candidates quickly
  • Start with score direction, then inspect the raw metric label in each cell.
  • Use country pages for source citations and method notes before making a call.
  • Do not treat similar scores as identical risk; confidence flags still matter.
