Updated reasoning: Brazilian Cooperation Agency documents South-South institutional capacity building, including Brazil–Haiti health services, rehabilitation, water and training, with partner participation. Deforestation and commodity-related ecological impacts create real cross-border concerns, and independently verified long-run mutuality is incomplete. Scoring values are a TBF normative assessment of the cited evidence, not a claim that assistance quantity equals verified benefit.

MCMV subsidized housing still usually requires financing or household contribution.","healthcare":"SUS provides nationwide universal public healthcare without direct patient fees, including primary and specialist services. Queues, coverage unevenness and gaps in access keep this below 4\/4.","transportation":"Fare-free or discounted interstate journeys for specific eligible groups exist; nationwide ordinary urban\/regional travel is not fare-free.","water_energy":"Luz do Povo guarantees no electricity consumption charge on up to 80kWh a month for qualifying low-income households; this is means-tested and household water remains generally charged."}

Updated reasoning: Brazilian Cooperation Agency documents South-South institutional capacity building, including Brazil–Haiti health services, rehabilitation, water and training, with partner participation. Deforestation and commodity-related ecological impacts create real cross-border concerns, and independently verified long-run mutuality is incomplete. Scoring values are a TBF normative assessment of the cited evidence, not a claim that assistance quantity equals verified benefit.

IBGE documented 37.8% informal work and 25.2% self-employment in Q2 2025; insecure schedules reduce reliable household time, though extra-job prevalence is not established. Authored TBF rail judgment, not government score. All paid jobs and unpaid home burden considered; friction -45, time returned +0.

Earlier reasoning: Brazilian Cooperation Agency documents South-South institutional capacity building, including Brazil–Haiti health services, rehabilitation, water and training, with partner participation. Deforestation and commodity-related ecological impacts create real cross-border concerns, and independently verified long-run mutuality is incomplete. Scoring values are a TBF normative assessment of the cited evidence, not a claim that assistance quantity equals verified benefit.
Updated reasoning: Footprint 3.1 weights 25/25/20/30. Export +20 (15%), import +5 (15%). 8.99 million kg of plastic scrap exported, far below the biggest exporters reviewed; recorded transport still carries handling work. A US$3.31m plastic scrap import stream is documented; risk judgment moderated by smaller available trade observations. BASEL reference https://www.basel.int/Default.aspx?tabid=8427
Sources archived before (1)
Brazilian Cooperation Agency documents about 15 bilateral projects since 2004 involving health systems, rehabilitation, water-catchment cisterns, farming, and local technical training; completed outputs support positive contribution but do not by themselves quantify all long-run local outcomes.

Earlier reasoning: Brazilian Cooperation Agency documents South-South institutional capacity building, including Brazil–Haiti health services, rehabilitation, water and training, with partner participation. Deforestation and commodity-related ecological impacts create real cross-border concerns, and independently verified long-run mutuality is incomplete. Scoring values are a TBF normative assessment of the cited evidence, not a claim that assistance quantity equals verified benefit.

Export +20 (15%), import +5 (15%). 8.99 million kg of plastic scrap exported, far below the biggest exporters reviewed; recorded transport still carries handling work.

Deforestation and commodity-related ecological impacts create real cross-border concerns, and independently verified long-run mutuality is incomplete. Scoring values are a TBF normative assessment of the cited evidence, not a claim that assistance quantity equals verified benefit.
Updated reasoning: Footprint 3.1 weights 25/25/20/30. Export +20 (15%), import +5 (15%). 8.99 million kg of plastic scrap exported, far below the biggest exporters reviewed; recorded transport still carries handling work. A US$3.31m plastic scrap import stream is documented; risk judgment moderated by smaller available trade observations. BASEL reference https://www.basel.int/Default.aspx?tabid=8427

A US$3.31m plastic scrap import stream is documented; risk judgment moderated by smaller available trade observations. The score measures a documented material-transfer pressure and policy response under TBF standards, not verified toxic exposure.

The headline TBF Abundance Score changed after the underlying published country dataset changed.
TBF points-60.50 → -60.98
Earlier score events did not preserve an exact category-by-category diff. Review detailed category change events recorded after the new history audit was activated.
TBF Abundance rank moved down from #107 to #110 as the published ranking changed. The country-data update clock did not move unless its own dataset also changed.
Rank#107 → #110National score-60.50 → -60.98

This older event recorded only one side of the movement. Other crossing countries were not archived and cannot be reliably named.
Human Time & Burden Return supporting evidence, citations, notes or rails changed without changing the category total.

Recorded reasoning: Brazil does not show an extreme national long-hours profile, but informality, commuting and labour underutilisation mean productivity does not return equally as secure family time.
