Country profile & diagnostic reading
Data updatedResearch handoff completedHow the headline score is calculated
Evidence before Gate = Σ (published category score × category weight × research coverage) ÷ Σ (category weight × research coverage). The five-part Money Gate sets a proportional ceiling, with Friction already in the category evidence score.
Current evidence: +34.0 · Money Gate: 2.92/20 · Cash-register lock: +85.4 · Graded pressure: +85.4 · Headline: -61.6.
The fully detailed gate formula is explained in the Money Gate method; no international score can independently clear it.
TBF Rank TBF Rank Rank compares only published profiles. It follows the TBF Abundance Score, not GDP size, and can move when a country score changes or when another country enters the published table. Read Small Island Abundance Theory

Five basics stand between this country and zero
The five-part direct reading is still pending. Missing gate readings remain pending rather than being converted into invented free-access points.
Reach-to-Money-Gate Clearance 2.0: These five gates measure effective no-payment access, not installed capacity alone. Under new source-backed reviews, 0, 0.5, 1, 2, 3 and 4 points track verified free access to 0%, some but less than 30%, 30%+, 50%+, 75%+ and 100% of the population respectively. The higher levels require reliable real use; 4/4 requires universally accessible, reliable service without ordinary charges or exclusions. Missing population figures remain pending. Older gate points remain archived until re-audited.

The existing transitional gate estimate is not split into invented category scores. Five direct category audits are still needed.
Why this reading is pending
The Money Gate total is the sum of the five direct 0–4 readings. Every basic need remains visible separately so one strong area cannot hide another weak one.
Actual calculation
No category-level 0–4 point calculation is available until a direct Money Gate audit is completed.
A country remains money-gated until the total reaches 20 / 20.
Why 85.4 / 100?
The five direct Money Gate readings total 0–20. Every point removes five of the 100 payment-lock units; a 7/20 reading produces a 65/100 lock.
Actual calculation
100 - (2.92 × 5) = 85.40
Why 74.2 / 100?
Friction is visible as its own 0–100 contextual reading from domestic category rails. Its effect is already in the evidence score and is not applied to the ceiling again.
Actual calculation
(100 - -48.31) ÷ 2 = 74.16 / 100
The weighted Friction rail comes from the published domestic category rails.
Why -42.7?
Each Money Gate point raises the negative ceiling by 2.5 points: 0/20 → −50, 7/20 → −32.5, 10/20 → −25, 19.5/20 → −1.25. At 20/20 the gate is removed, so the evidence score becomes the headline directly.
Actual calculation
85.40 = 85.40 (Friction already counted in category scores)
-50 + 2.5 × 2.92 = -42.7
The transitional value is derived from published domestic Reach and Friction rails only to preserve historical ordering. It is not a substitute for the five direct 0–4 gate findings above and can never clear the Money Gate.

Capacity rate, when evidenced = usable functioning capacity ÷ capacity needed × 100. A derived score requires separate documented judgement; do not assume the rate itself equals the score.
Why this score
The Dominican Republic has strong growth, substantial public and private infrastructure, a large tourism/service economy and expanding social systems, while inequality, water continuity, housing pressure, climate exposure and uneven service quality remain material to ordinary household reach.

TBFC targetPeople should be able to form, continue and multiply family life. Trott Bailey Family Civilization uses 5.0 children per woman as the fertility target; 2.1 is the replacement floor, not the aspiration, while housing, care, food and time should not be withheld behind financial thresholds. Access-gate research questionHow strongly do housing, childcare, health, food and work-income requirements delay or destabilize family formation and continuity, and is total fertility moving above replacement toward the 5.0-children-per-woman civilization target?

Fertility and family policy: research and source notes
Trott Bailey Family target and observed fertility The 5.0-children-per-woman target is an authored civilization benchmark; approximately 2.1 children per woman is the usual long-run replacement benchmark. The existing Family Formation method blends 60% lived family conditions and 40% measured fertility performance.
How policy is evaluated Assess housing, care, parental time, material security, access to family formation, and actual demographic outcomes. A government statement or law is not proof that national births increased or declined. Establish its effects with dated comparative evidence before assigning points.
How the two kinds of evidence differ The binary legal-status deduction is an authored TBF policy assessment, not a statistic of observed births. Carroll and Schumm argue that marriage-law changes can weaken procreative norms, while other empirical studies find no negative effect on different-sex family formation. This disagreement is disclosed rather than presented as scientific consensus.

External Footprint & Non-Extractive Global Conduct
What this category measures
Documented effects a country, its public institutions or materially supported programs have beyond its borders: beneficial contribution, medical and technical help, mutuality, external harm, extraction, accountability and repair.
TBFC targetA civilization should increase useful local capability beyond its borders through medicine, training, disaster help, technical cooperation, peace-building and other mutually useful contribution, while avoiding extraction, exported harm and displacement. Access-gate research questionDo the country’s actions abroad increase health, skill, safety, resilience and locally retained capability, or do they export extraction, coercion, environmental harm, displacement, debt or other burdens? International scoring method
Legacy method: External Footprint documents independently verified beneficial action beyond the border, including medical missions, public-health help, scholarships, training, technical cooperation, disaster relief, humanitarian logistics, peacekeeping and other programs that leave useful capability with the receiving society. It also documents extractive conduct, exported environmental or human harm, coercive external security practices, abusive displacement outsourcing and whether documented harm is repaired, with a separately scored 6% category once four evidence-backed rails have been reviewed. Verified waste exports and disguised low-utility dumping are penalized through the transboundary harm ledger, as are irresponsible import acceptance practices through Domestic Durability & Material Return.
International contribution is investigated relative to capacity and quality, not raw size alone; documented outward activity is distinguished from independent benefit and local mutuality.
Dumping and harmful material transfers
Waste or disguised low-utility exports reduce External Footprint. Real reuse must be distinguished from disguised disposal. The sender retains responsibility for harms shifted abroad. Method v3: harmful imported garbage and low-utility dumping belong in External Footprint, where inbound transfer responsibility is 15% of the category. Historical method v2 import deductions remain archived under Domestic Durability until that country receives a sourced v3 score. Do not double-count.

World Bank — Dominican Republic overviewTrott Bailey Family Civilization Target
The end state: life beyond monetary gatekeeping
Trott Bailey Family Civilization treats money as an exchange tool rather than a prerequisite for access to life. The long-run abundance target is that food, water, shelter, care, education, mobility, land access and ordinary public life remain reachable even when a person cannot pay.
This target is an authored civilization standard. The diagnostic evidence score can use all sixteen weighted categories: fourteen domestic plus International Welcome (6%) and External Footprint (6%), when each international category has four verified rail scores and dated source evidence. Unreviewed international rails remain pending, not zero. The five-part Money Gate remains a separate domestic threshold asking whether food, housing/land, healthcare, transportation and water/energy are genuinely reachable without payment before any civilization can cross zero.
