Global Scope: International Governance Scorecard

The same eight-domain framework applied to every country the United States has substantive relations with. Scores drive treaty preferences, sovereign fund withholding, immigration policy, and trade alignment.

Policy Map

How Scores Drive Policy

Five tiers, each with automatic consequences across trade, defense, immigration, and investment.

Fully Aligned≥70

Full treaty access, 10–15% withholding, defense co-production, intelligence sharing, and mutual recognition.

Partially Aligned50–69

Standard treaty terms, 30% withholding, trade benefits proportional to composite score. Co-production on non-sensitive systems.

Neutral40–49

Standard terms, limited co-production eligibility. Most-favored-nation baseline. Neutral withholding schedule.

Partially Unaligned30–39

Enhanced CFIUS/OFAC review. Surcharges on specific product categories. Export controls on dual-use technology. Reduced investment access.

Unaligned<30

Maximum reciprocal tariffs. Comprehensive export controls. No co-production or intelligence sharing. Alliance-coordinated economic boundaries.

Scores are recalculated annually. Any nation that improves measurably receives automatic tariff relief and co-production access via the Ratchet mechanism. Deterioration triggers proportional consequences without congressional action.
