Qualitative Overlay Notes

  • TODO: capture any country-specific override to the scored baseline.
  • TODO: note whether this factor is the decisive constraint, a lagging variable, or mostly background context.
  • TODO: cross-link to the relevant chokepoint, bloc, or trade vulnerability that should anchor the prose.
