TBF provisional authored four-rail assessment: 25% entry, 30% practical migrant life, 25% refugee/neighbour welcome, 20% continuity. Reuses original country research; no undocumented eVisa/birthright credits; review national visa and citizenship exceptions before changing these points.

Family unity, citizenship continuity and predictable renewal of stay. Prior researched country observation: Reach: Landlocked geography, border/transit dependence and passport/visa constraints limit frictionless access. Money gate: International movement is strongly money/document gated. Point values are TBF authored judgements; cited source supplies context and cannot alone verify full reach or the exact score.

Trade-flow scrutiny: volume/handling unknown unless a dated customs record is present. Prior researched country observation: Reach: Imported goods/fuels and transboundary pollution complicate territorial-only assessment.

Updated reasoning
- Food
- WFP documents food insecurity and targeted support, not universal household food provision.
- Housing / Land
- Housing quality varies with location and disaster risk; no universal no-payment family housing programme established in this review.
- Healthcare
- Nepal law recognizes no-payment basic health care, yet WHO documents medical supply and out-of-pocket gaps.
- Transport
- Road projects aim to reduce time/cost; everyday transport remains price- and distance-gated.
- Water / Energy
- Water-system reliability varies and electricity projects expand billable service; no nationwide free water-and-energy baseline demonstrated.

Updated reasoning
TBF provisional footprint ordinal judgment: 25% useful contribution + 25% mutual benefit + 20% non-trade harm/repair + 15% exporter + 15% importer. HS3915 exporter/importer role unverified; two trade inputs remain unassessed (0 neutral placeholder, NOT proof zero waste or no harm). Trade inputs may change the category when substantiated. No second waste deduction.

Trade-flow scrutiny: volume/handling unknown unless a dated customs record is present. Prior researched country observation: Reach: Imported goods/fuels and transboundary pollution complicate territorial-only assessment. Money gate: Externalized consumption footprint not quantified here.

Money Gate (separate 20-point gate) changed from 2.17 to 2.5. Review the recorded rails, explanation and source records below.

Category point adjustment: +0.33 category points
Updated reasoning
- Food
- WFP documents food insecurity and targeted support, not universal household food provision.
- Housing / Land
- Housing quality varies with location and disaster risk; no universal no-payment family housing programme established in this review.
- Healthcare
- Nepal law recognizes no-payment basic health care, yet WHO documents medical supply and out-of-pocket gaps.
- Transport
- Road projects aim to reduce time/cost; everyday transport remains price- and distance-gated.
- Water / Energy
- Water-system reliability varies and electricity projects expand billable service; no nationwide free water-and-energy baseline demonstrated.
Earlier reasoning
