The circle shows each metric's percentile rank (position among countries with data), which is comparable across metrics. Each metric's native score uses its own scale and is not comparable between metrics — see it (and the full formula) in “How is this calculated?”.

    32.01 — this metric's own 0–100 scale; not comparable to other metrics.
    Percentile rank
    32th percentile — ranks 146th of 214. Comparable across metrics.
    Normalization
    Percentile rank across countries
    score = 100 − [ percentile rank of 4.95 among 214 countries ] = 32.01

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

    Percentile rank
    76th percentile — ranks 57th of 237. Comparable across metrics.
    Normalization
    Min–max (rescaled against the dataset)
    score = 100 · (39.67 − 14.32) / (59.63 − 14.32) = 55.94

    Min and max are this dataset's lowest (14.32) and highest (59.63) values, so the score is relative to the current country set.
