    It needs.
    The country, the capability and what the score misses.

    Anyone who knows a country better than a global dataset does.
    What it changes.
    The objection is published beside the score it targets, so the disagreement travels with the number.

    Usually.
    Statisticians, researchers, anyone who works with a national source.
    What it changes.
    A gap becomes a scored indicator, which raises confidence for every country at once.
