Floor designation
·Designated ·Methodology v1.2Composite score resolves at zero — methodology disclosure
Floor designation reflects systemic harm pattern documented across multiple assessment cycles, formalized following the April 10, 2026 inauguration of Min Aung Hlaing (the 2021 coup architect) as president and the April 26, 2026 expansion of martial law across 60 townships. Junta controls fewer than 40% of national territory; 9,400+ cumulative airstrikes since the coup; 3,800+ civilian deaths from airstrikes alone; 4 million internally displaced; 1.5 million refugees; one-third of the population in humanitarian need. Composite resolves at zero because no dimension shows functional compassion behavior at the sub-anchor level outside junta-controlled territory, and because the inauguration formalizes the rejection of any transitional framing.
Primary drivers
Documented evidence pattern(2026-04-15 to 2026-04-29)
- April 10, 2026: Min Aung Hlaing (coup architect, 2021) sworn in as president; bombardments continued during the inauguration ceremony.
- April 26, 2026: Junta imposed martial law across 60 townships following the inauguration.
- 9,400+ cumulative airstrikes since the February 2021 coup; 3,800+ civilian deaths from airstrikes alone.
- 4 million internally displaced; 1.5 million cross-border refugees; one-third of the population requires humanitarian assistance.
- Junta controls fewer than 40% of townships (independent monitoring); ASEAN Five-Point Consensus has produced no documented behavioral change.
- HRW World Report 2026: military's actions amount to war crimes and crimes against humanity. UN Special Rapporteur and SG statements confirm sustained pattern.
Compassion framework
8 dimensions, scored 0–5
Each dimension rolls up five subdimensions with five-level behavioral anchors. See the methodology for anchor definitions and weighting.
Awareness
Does this entity reliably detect when others are in pain or need — before they name it?
Empathy
Does this entity genuinely connect with the inner experience of those it serves?
Action
Does compassionate understanding translate into real, proportional, effective help?
Equity
Is care distributed fairly — especially toward those with greatest need and least power?
Boundaries
Is helping sustainable, ethical, and autonomy-preserving — not dependency-creating?
Accountability
Does this entity own its failures, correct course, and make genuine repair?
Systemic Thinking
Does compassion extend to root causes and structural change — not only symptom relief?
Integrity
Is compassion genuine, consistent, and non-performative — especially when it costs something?
