    Native score
    33.41 — this metric's own 0–100 scale; not comparable to other metrics.
    Percentile rank
    33th percentile — ranks 143rd of 214. Comparable across metrics.
    Normalization
    Percentile rank across countries
    score = 100 − [ percentile rank of 4.78 among 214 countries ] = 33.41

    The score is the country's position in the distribution. Direction is inverted (higher raw value = worse), so the position is subtracted from 100.
