ⓘLeadership Rating is a weighted average of 9 dimensions. Five use live World Bank indicators; the rest are derived from sourced signals (WIPO/Oxford/UNESCO, GDELT, World Bank + UCDP, survey data) where coverage exists. Diplomacy is a GDELT-derived engagement proxy, and anything unsourced shows as no data. Political position is V-Dem V-Party expert coding. Full weights on the Methodology page.

Institutional Integrity (V-Dem), Vision (WIPO/Oxford/UNESCO), Defense (real force counts), Crisis Response (World Bank + UCDP + WGI), Communication (GDELT) and Diplomacy (the Diplomatic Signal) are sourced or derived signals.

Leadership Archetypes
Technocrat
Governs through expertise, institutional capacity, and rational policy design rather than political mobilization. This profile thrives in environments where execution matters more than persuasion.
Also reads as
Economic Reformer
Defines their era through transformative economic restructuring. Vision and economy are the twin pillars, often implemented through pragmatic rather than ideological means.
SourceDerivedMethodRule-based classificationConfDeterministic✓ ReconstructableⓘArchetypes are derived automatically from the leadership stat profile — not hand-assigned. No archetype is assigned when the profile lacks a qualifying signal: the leader reads as "No data", never a fallback label. A secondary archetype is added only when a stat scores exceptionally high.

SourceWorld Bank GDP + UCDP deaths (annual + Candidate GED) + WGI stabilityMethodCountry-year shock severity · peer-relative damageConfLow✓ ReconstructableⓘCrisis Exposure measures how severely a leader was tested — a peak-biased aggregate of per-year shock severity (conflict intensity, economic contraction and political-stability decline vs. recent normal) over the mandate. It is context, not a verdict: high exposure is neither good nor bad on its own. Crisis Response measures how the country fared during its genuine crisis years relative to comparable crisis episodes worldwide — country-years hit with the same shock severity. Higher = less national damage than peers at that severity. Leaders who never faced a major shock are marked Untested rather than rewarded. Per country-year, real WB/UCDP/WGI shocks are winsorised and percentile-ranked into a ShockSeverity; Exposure is the peak-biased mandate aggregate. Crisis years (severity ≥ 60) score Response = 100 − damage percentile among comparable-severity crises worldwide, then severity-weighted over the mandate. Untested = no major shock (never rewarded). Absent components are reweighted, never filled.
