NCBNational Capability Benchmark

Challenge the benchmark

Choose a score and give the benchmark a specific reason to reconsider it.

When you submit, the form attaches the current score and confidence for the country and capability you chose.

Submissions are public and start as awaiting review. A maintainer can add a response and signature after review.

Capability agendas

Each agenda turns a country's scores into actions: what to raise, what to measure first, and what to keep watching. The register below records what countries have already built in areas the benchmark cannot yet measure.

A delivery is filed against an indicator that has no dataset behind it, so none of these records moves a score or a confidence. Filter or sort the register to find a delivery, then open its full record. The same records in a grouped view, with preconditions and where else each move has been used, are at patterns.

Where examples exist

Every benchmark country and all nine capabilities stay visible. Filled cells link to the source-checked examples; empty cells show where the research agenda is still open.

Canadian long-gun registry, its information system overrun and its dismantling

Canada began registering all firearms under the 1995 Firearms Act from December 1998. The registry's first information system, CFIS I, had an initial estimate of $13 to 20 million and had cost $190 million by March 2005. Its successor CFIS II rose from $32 million to at least $87 million and was halted. In 2012 Parliament ended long-gun registration and ordered the destruction of about 7.5 million non-restricted registration records, which the RCMP deleted from CFIS in October 2012.

The 1997 Canada Pension Plan financing reform

In December 1993 the Chief Actuary projected that the pay-as-you-go contribution rate would reach 14.2% by 2030 and that the fund would run out by 2015. The federal and provincial governments agreed a reform package in 1997. It took effect on 1 January 1998, raised the combined contribution rate in steps to 9.9% by 2003, replaced pay-as-you-go financing with steady-state funding and invested net cash flows through the CPP Investment Board. The 2024 valuation puts the minimum sustaining rate at 9.19% from 2034, below the legislated 9.9%, with assets of $651 billion.
