methodology v2.2
Confidence-weighted country risk assessments for individual decisions. Every score is a directional read from −10 to +10 paired with an explicit confidence level, disciplined by source quality — not a gut ranking. Built for three individual decisions: where to live, where to hold assets, and what currency to hold.

A snapshot ranking for the relocation decision. Open any country for the full category breakdown, or compare them side by side.
Directional, not gospel. These are confidence-weighted reads calibrated to one decision-maker's priorities — the methodology explains how each score is bounded. The asset and currency reads are analysis, not financial advice.

The hyperscaler buildout is a transfer of wealth and resources from utility ratepayers, adjacent communities, taxpayers, investors, and other businesses to the owners of data centers. Each channel is small enough on its own to defend as growth. The combined transfer is the largest cost-externalization exercise in modern American infrastructure history.
Switzerland leads the currency decision, with Norway and Singapore close behind. What the currency score actually measures, why it's the narrowest of the three decisions, and why the honest reading is diversification rather than a single safe-haven bet. Educational, not financial advice.
Norway ranks #1 for living and #2 for assets and currency, with a 198 km Russian border and a NATO front line on its territory. How a frontline-adjacent state still tops the table: the difference between a category and the composite, and between level and skew.
The country board is a general, one-size read. The new Relocate tool layers your profile (origin, languages, profession, capital, goal) on top of it in your browser, re-ranks the living/assets/currency decisions for you, and points you at the real immigration, asset, and currency pathways. Here is how it works and what it deliberately does not do.
Authoritarian states often look calm on a snapshot - low protest, predictable politics, controlled media. The board scores them low anyway, and the reason is the skew: managed stability suppresses small volatility while storing it up as a fat downside tail.
A live grid of every country, per-decision rankings, category radar charts, and country-vs-country comparison. Data is fetched at runtime from static JSON.
Long-form write-ups behind the numbers — what moved a score, where confidence is thin, and which way the skew points.
The sources behind the scores — bias/coverage checking, integrity data, open datasets, fact-checking — with a live snapshot of what's changed.
