Country Data Quality expresses our confidence in the coverage and reliability of the data available to assess a country’s exposure to supply chain vulnerabilities. This metric is quantitatively measured by the proportion of supply chain indicators available for each country within the model. 

Countries are classified into five categories: Very Good, Good, Medium, Poor, and Very Poor, based on the percentage of available indicators. Each category is paired with a corresponding coverage statement: Very Good Coverage, Good Coverage, Moderate Coverage, Limited Coverage, or Very Limited Coverage. 

If a country has less than 30 percent of indicators available, it is assigned a “Not Available” classification, ensuring that only countries with sufficient data coverage are included in the supply chain risk assessment.
