Methodology

GTIAS Risk Domain scores are computed by averaging GTIAS attribute scores within the relevant pillar(s) for each industry. Attribute Spotlight scores use one attribute's score directly, not a pillar average. All attribute scores range from 0–5, where higher values indicate greater structural risk exposure or vulnerability. Rankings reflect raw GTIAS scorecard data — no editorial adjustment or weighting applied.
