Where does Venezuela stand on Experimentation?
This page reads one capability from the published data and is recomputed with every release. It separates what Venezuela does, which makes the score, from what the country has, which sits beside the score, and places the country among the 10 countries at the nearest income. The text describes the data and recommends no policy.
The World Bank publishes no GDP per capita for Venezuela, so the page forms no peer set and draws no comparison.
What does the score rest on?
Confidence is in the very thin band, so the score rests on little evidence.
The Experimentation score is the equal-weight mean of the positions of three indicators on a 0 to 100 scale that every country sets together. Confidence measures the evidence behind the score and sits beside it as a second number.
The Experimentation score tracks GDP per capita at r = 0.72 across 120 countries.

No condition is published beside Experimentation in this release, so the page shows only the indicators that make the score.

What this reading does not show
- A national score is a coarse proxy. A capability forms in firms, cities, networks and groups below the level of the country, and a national average only describes the conditions they work in.
- Peers share income and nothing else. Size, production structure, region and political regime are outside the rule, and a set of 10 countries can change with any revision to GDP.
- An r reads the whole set at once and says nothing about one country alone. A correlation does not show a cause either.
- The known artefacts that bear on Experimentation, described on the limits page: artefact A1.
- And the ones every score in the benchmark carries: artefact A8, artefact A10.
