ⓘLeadership Rating is a weighted average of 9 dimensions. Five use live World Bank indicators; the rest are derived from sourced signals (WIPO/Oxford/UNESCO, GDELT, World Bank + UCDP, survey data) where coverage exists. Diplomacy has no source yet, and anything unsourced shows as no data. Political position is V-Dem V-Party expert coding. Full weights on the Methodology page.

Institutional Integrity (V-Dem), Vision (WIPO/Oxford/UNESCO), Defense (real force counts), Crisis Response (World Bank + UCDP + WGI), Communication (GDELT) and Diplomacy (the Diplomatic Signal) are sourced or derived signals.

No archetype is assigned when the profile lacks a qualifying signal: the leader reads as "No data", never a fallback label. A secondary archetype is added only when a stat scores exceptionally high.
