Methods before rankings.
CitizensOS will publish an index only when readers can inspect what it measures, who it compares, which evidence it uses, and where the method stops being reliable.
All InsightsWhat every published index must show
All six records must be accepted together. A source package, a method, or a dated title on its own is not a publishable ranking.
- Direction
- The question being answered, the meaning of a higher or lower score, and the decision the comparison is designed to inform.
- Method
- The variables, transformations, weights, scoring rules, and calculation steps needed to reproduce the result.
- Population
- The countries, programs, or other units included in the comparison, together with its inclusion and exclusion rules.
- Edition
- A dated release, source-review date, and version that identify which evidence and method produced the result.
- Coverage
- The source coverage, comparability constraints, and missing-data policy applied across the population.
- Limitations
- Known uncertainty, exclusions, judgment calls, and uses the ranking cannot responsibly support.

A ranking is context, not a determination.
An index cannot establish eligibility, predict an outcome, or replace a program-specific review. Governments decide legal status. Qualified professionals provide regulated advice and execution.
