    9. Data Gaps & Confidence Statement

  • PEP: Single source only — confidence capped at Low.
  • Currency: Single source only — confidence capped at Low.
  • 10. Falsification Conditions

  • Any dimension with <3 source disciplines has confidence capped at Low.
  • If a data source has not refreshed within its declared update_frequency, it is marked stale and excluded.
  • If two independent sources contradict on a dimension, the dimension is held unscored until reconciled.
  • ACLED armed conflict data is at 0 rows (API blocked) — Social Unrest dimension relies on GDELT + signals only.
  • This report is falsified if Brazil's risk profile changes materially before next assessment.
  • 11. Methodology Appendix

    Per ER-03 Methodology War Room (2026-08-17):

  • Six dimensions scored 0-100 with evidence from mapped data sources

  • Composite = weighted average (equal weights by default)

  • Confidence: High (≥3 sources), Moderate (2), Low (1)

  • Risk bands: Low (0-20), Elevated (21-40), Moderate (41-60), High (61-80), Critical (81-100)
