TBF Abundance Score
-57.7
Evidence before Abundance Gate +44.0
How 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: +44.0 · Money Gate: 3.48/20 · Cash-register lock: +82.6 · Graded pressure: +82.6 · Headline: -57.7.

The fully detailed gate formula is explained in the Money Gate method; no international score can independently clear it.

Research Coverage

Coverage calculation

Sum of each published category weight × its documented scoring coverage ÷ 100. The percentage measures completed scoring slots, not independent verification of every claim. For the current country:

9.0 × 100.0% + 8.0 × 100.0% + 9.0 × 100.0% + 6.0 × 100.0% + 5.0 × 100.0% + 7.0 × 100.0% + 6.0 × 100.0% + 4.0 × 100.0% + 8.0 × 100.0% + 5.0 × 100.0% + 6.0 × 100.0% + 6.0 × 100.0% + 5.0 × 100.0% + 4.0 × 100.0% = 88.00% weighted coverage

Unreviewed international categories do not receive fabricated coverage or zero scores.

Money Gate · Overall Gate 0.7.0

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.

  • Money still neededNot measured

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.

Cash-Register Lock
82.6 / 100
Why 82.6 / 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 - (3.48 × 5) = 82.60

Friction Economy Pressure
70.8 / 100
Why 70.8 / 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 - -41.53) ÷ 2 = 70.77 / 100

The weighted Friction rail comes from the published domestic category rails.

Money-gated ceiling
-41.3
Why -41.3?

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

82.60 = 82.60 (Friction already counted in category scores)

-50 + 2.5 × 3.48 = -41.3

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.

Reach · 25-point ladder & linked Money Gate

Recorded value matches a new ladder step. Full new-method status requires a source-led audit of the coverage and access conditions; the number alone is not proof.

Domestic Reach has eight 25-point intervals and nine anchors: −100, −75, −50, −25, 0, +25, +50, +75, +100. Existing readings stay unchanged until re-reviewed.

Linked direct Money Gate: Healthcare direct audit pending. Physical reach can exist with paid access. Free-access Reach tiers must agree with this gate’s independently sourced no-payment population assessment. 4/4 is now reserved for reliable, accessible, universally free access. Neither score is copied blindly from the other.

Family Formation — two-part calculation and marriage-law criterion

First half — the established family and fertility assessment

The original family score remains available. It combines 60% conditions for family life with 40% observed total fertility performance. Its source research is preserved.

Pre-policy score: +41.6

Second half — binary marriage-law policy criterion

This is a Trott Bailey Family policy preference, not an estimate of births lost. Recognition: −50 points. Reviewed non-recognition: 0 deduction. An unreviewed status stays pending and causes no deduction.

Country legal status: Pending verification

Deduction calculation: Pending; 0 points deducted provisionally, not a verified zero

Final category calculation: +41.6 − 0 = +41.6 (clamped to −100..+100, before any independent material-transfer deductions)

Legal status not independently reviewed for this jurisdiction; no deduction is assigned. Pending is not a confirmed absence of recognition.

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.

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

Upper-middle-income Adriatic country with broad electricity, road, health, education and digital infrastructure and strong tourism and natural assets. Housing affordability, regional inequality, social-assistance reach, waste management and climate resilience remain constraints. Physical beauty and cultural assets are separated from everyday safety, freely reachable recreation, social support and peace of mind.

Reach · 25-point ladder & linked Money Gate

Domestic Reach has eight 25-point intervals and nine anchors: −100, −75, −50, −25, 0, +25, +50, +75, +100. Existing readings stay unchanged until re-reviewed.

The transportation thresholds are defined first. This category follows the same 25-point scale, but needs its own domain-specific coverage and free-access evidence before a revised Reach value is published.

Exact point calculation

75.00 × (35.00 ÷ 100) = 26.25 weighted points

Reach rate, when evidenced = people effectively served ÷ eligible people × 100. Check the same population, period and location.

Trott 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.
