Capability agendas

Each agenda turns a country's scores into actions: what to raise, what to measure first and what to keep watching. The table below is what countries have already built against the same missing indicators.

A delivery is filed against an indicator that has no dataset behind it, so none of these rows moves a score or a confidence. Sort by any column. The table opens on the start year, newest first. The card view of the same corpus, with preconditions and where each move has travelled, is at patterns.

What countries built

One row per documented delivery, with the year it started, the published number that carries it, who published that number and whether it still runs.
