Percentile rank, not min-max: across 217 countries one extreme reading would otherwise flatten everyone else into the same band. A country missing an indicator is re-weighted across what it does report rather than penalised for the gap.
No deeply scored market here. Benin is covered on live country indicators only. The 22 market profiles carry twenty pillars and the Big Mac module, which need city-level inputs this country does not yet have in the set.
