Scoring Logic

Sanctions Risk Score (0-100)

• No sanctions: 100 (good)
• OFAC-sanctioned: 20 (critical)

Economic Risk Score (0-100)

Based on:

• Inflation (target: < 8%)
• Unemployment (target: < 5%)
• GDP growth (target: > 1%)
• FDI % of GDP
• Rule of law index

Natural Disaster Risk Score (0-100)

Based on:

• Earthquake frequency (1-year rolling)
• Maximum magnitude
• Average magnitude

Overall Score (0-100)

Weighted: Sanctions 40% + Economic 35% + Natural 25%

Verdict Logic

function calcVerdict(scores) {
  if (scores.sanctions < 30 || scores.overall < 35) return 'AVOID';
  if (scores.overall < 60 || scores.political < 40 || scores.economic < 40) return 'CAUTION';
  return 'GO';
}
