Intelligence
Measure first.
Then move.
96 criteria, 18 domains, one scale, every country — and the same scepticism applied to our own conclusions.
Method
How a country earns a verdict.
Core — 55
Value chain, demand, access to orbit, tourism, education, technology, capital, regulation, policy, geography, market access from the UK, risk. Produces the verdict.
Depth — 41
People, institutions, grants, law and tax, capital, scientific standing. Answers whether a product can be built, and who pays.
- G1 Every criterion carries a source of level A or B — an agency, a registry, a filing, not a press release.
- G2 Dynamics no older than 90 days; structure no older than 12 months.
- G3 At least 60% of the weight covered, or the country receives no verdict.
- G4 The score has to match its own argument, not the other way round.
A country under 60% coverage receives no verdict at all — the honest output is a gap, not a score.
The market, counted
Three hundred launches.
One number that matters.
A count of scheduled records from a public launch library, deduplicated. Not a forecast of success.

Level A — official primary (agency, registry, filing). Level B — official secondary or our own computed snapshot. Nothing on this site is a press release dressed as a fact.
