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

The 8 domains

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 Spain — the record above is the real story. We show it small, and only when the coverage earns it.

Overall 4.0/5 Good
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.
