What This Means

QGI found 201historical cases where other countries' economic indicators followed a trajectory that subsequently led to a political corruption event. Vietnam's current indicator trajectory matches these historical patterns.

This does not mean Vietnam will experience political corruption. It means the economic conditions that historically preceded such events in other countries are present in Vietnam's current data. Analysts should examine the underlying evidence and apply domain expertise.

QGI surfaces economically-grounded risk candidates that analysts should examine. Risk tiers reflect historical precedent density, not probability forecasts.
