AFRICAN X-RAY INTELLIGENCE SYSTEM · V1.0
The AXIS Score is a reproducible 0–100 composite of eight named World Bank indicators. It measures infrastructure capacity, fiscal and policy capacity, monetary resilience, and resource endowment with domestic value capture. It is not an AI-generated score.
AXIS = 0.25 × Infrastructure + 0.25 × Policy + 0.25 × Monetary Resilience + 0.25 × Resource & Value Capture
Within each dimension, both indicators carry 50% weight. Values are clamped to the fixed bounds below, linearly normalized to 0–100, and inverted where lower is better. The final composite is rounded to the nearest integer.
Domestic access to foundational electricity and digital infrastructure.
EG.ELC.ACCS.ZS · 50% of dimension · higher is better · bounds 20–100 % of population
IT.NET.USER.ZS · 50% of dimension · higher is better · bounds 10–90 % of population
Domestic revenue capacity and freedom from external debt-service pressure.
GC.TAX.TOTL.GD.ZS · 50% of dimension · higher is better · bounds 5–30 % of GDP
DT.TDS.DECT.EX.ZS · 50% of dimension · lower is better · bounds 0–50 % of exports
Price stability and reserves available to absorb external shocks.
FP.CPI.TOTL.ZG · 50% of dimension · lower is better · bounds 0–25 annual %
FI.RES.TOTL.MO · 50% of dimension · higher is better · bounds 0–12 months of imports
Natural-resource endowment balanced with domestic manufacturing value capture.
NY.GDP.TOTL.RT.ZS · 50% of dimension · higher is better · bounds 0–30 % of GDP in rents
NV.IND.MANF.ZS · 50% of dimension · higher is better · bounds 2–25 % of GDP
A missing observation receives only that World Bank indicator's fixed bundled-baseline median normalized value. Imputed values affect the score but not coverage or source recency; every imputation includes its method and donor count.
Coverage is the sum of non-imputed indicator weights divided by all indicator weights.
Overall confidence = coverage × 0.95 source quality × weighted observation recency. Recency is 1.0 for 2024+, then falls 0.1 per year to a 0.5 floor.
High confidence is ≥ 0.80, medium is 0.60–0.79, and low is below 0.60. The API identifies every imputed input and returns country-level coverage, confidence, sources, observation years, and methodology version.
Status is derived exclusively from the published numeric score.
The bundled baseline contains the latest available 2019–2024 observations retrieved from the World Bank Indicator API on 2026-07-16. Fixed normalization bounds make the same inputs produce the same score and allow historical comparisons without cross-country rank drift. The score is a strategic analytical aid, not investment advice, and does not claim to directly observe every aspect of sovereignty.
