Each tracked country gets seven sub-scores, each normalised to 0–100 where the best-performing country scores 100 and the worst scores 0 (cohort-relative min-max). Scores combine into a single composite using fixed weights. Below: what each dimension measures, where the data comes from, and how confident we are in each value.
Seven sub-scores, each normalised cohort-relative so the best country scores 100 and the worst scores 0. Inverted dimensions (cost, AQI) rank the cheapest / cleanest air at 100.

Sub-score contributions to the composite. If a dimension is missing for a country, the remaining weights are renormalised across the available subset so a single missing dimension doesn't double-penalise.
