Country profile & diagnostic reading
Data updatedResearch package 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: +23.8 · Money Gate: 2.17/20 · Cash-register lock: +89.2 · Graded pressure: +89.2 · Headline: -65.7.
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

National Abundance Gate Money Gate Food, Housing / Land, Healthcare, Transportation and Water / Energy are four points each. All five must reach 4/4 before the country can cross zero. Money may still exist as an exchange tool; it cannot remain the permission slip for these five basics. Read Money Is a Weak Civilization Engine

Research Coverage Research coverage Coverage tells you how much of the weighted domestic framework has publishable evidence. Missing research stays missing; it is not silently converted into a zero score. Explore Trott Bailey Kingdom Systems
Coverage calculation
Sum of each published category weight × its verified research coverage ÷ 100. 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.

The five-part direct reading is still pending. Missing gate readings remain pending rather than being converted into invented free-access points.
Food Food · 4 points Full credit means nutritious food is ordinary civilization provision without a checkout or poverty test. School meals and other narrow institutional routes can earn limited partial credit without being mistaken for free food abundance. Read A Civilization Laid Out in Orchards
Direct gate evidence pending · no individual gate points assigned
Housing / Land Housing / Land · 4 points Full credit means families can secure a home or suitable productive ground without rent, purchase price or mortgage debt deciding whether they may remain sheltered and grounded. Read the Distributed Founding Nuclei Strategy
Direct gate evidence pending · no individual gate points assigned
Healthcare Healthcare · 4 points Full credit requires dependable no-payment care across prevention, primary care, maternity, dentistry, medicine, emergency treatment and necessary specialist care. Read Money Zombie Outbreaks

Transportation Transportation · 4 points Full credit means ordinary movement is free across the routes people actually need. A free Sunday, one route or a temporary promotion earns only limited credit. Read The Caterport: Free Human Movement

Water / Energy Water / Energy · 4 points Full credit requires both safe water and essential household energy to stay available without payment deciding whether cooking, cooling, washing, pumping or food preservation stops. Read Nucleus Formation Stewards

- 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.
Why 89.2 / 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 - (2.17 × 5) = 89.15
Why 79.6 / 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 - -59.20) ÷ 2 = 79.60 / 100
The weighted Friction rail comes from the published domestic category rails.
Why -44.6?
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
89.15 = 89.15 (Friction already counted in category scores)
-50 + 2.5 × 2.17 = -44.6
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.

Family Formation, Continuity & Child Stability
What this category measures
Conditions that let people form stable families, raise children, multiply generations, share parental time and continue family life without punishing material barriers. New and re-reviewed profiles include total fertility as an explicit outcome signal.
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 methodNew and re-reviewed Family Formation scores blend 60% lived family conditions with 40% fertility performance. Five children per woman is the 100/100 fertility target. The 2.1 replacement floor earns +25/100 fertility performance; below replacement declines proportionally, while rates above 2.1 rise progressively toward +100 at 5.0.

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.

World BankTrott 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.
