Everything we have on United Kingdom: every domain, every assessed factor with its reasoning, and an honest account of the domains we have not yet earned the right to grade.

Where the country is strong, and where it is not

Equal-weight domains, strongest first, each shown with its average, its band, a printed bar and its coverage. Open a domain to read its factors — every finding's band and reasoning are free; the full report is behind the title. A domain that carries no number does so by design.

Overall assessment

The coarse roll-up

One number across eight unlike domains is the bluntest view of United Kingdom — the record above is the real story. We show it small, and only when the coverage earns it.

Overall 3.5/5 Moderate
Published
8 / 8 Domains published
112 / 112 Factors assessed
0 Domains not yet graded

The overall is the mean of the domains we can publish — a calibrated band, not a promise. Where a domain is too thin to grade we say so above rather than publish a number for it. Read the scale →

How we decide what to publish

We publish a domain average only when at least 3 of its factors are scored and we have covered at least half the domain; we publish an overall only when at least 4 of 8 domains qualify. Any domain too thin to grade is shown above as exactly that — never as a thin average.
