What we are doing here: We simulate an automated mathematical simplex across all 286 valid permutations of weights for the 4 pillars (summing to 100%) against every competing sovereign country in 2023. This discovers which weighting system maximizes Sweden's global competitive ranking by accentuating its comparative strengths.
