Full evidence record for entities with score changes in this cycle.
Pakistan BAND CROSSING — Developing to Critical. HRCP 2025 annual report: 273+ enforced disappearances; 531,700 Afghans coerced out; Ahmadi minority killings; 6,500+ GBV cases; 145/148 Gender Gap. Conservative proposed composite 17.5 (precise math 17.2). Delta sub-threshold but band crossings are always material.
Band crossing. Boundary watch active since May 8 (0.3 above Critical floor). HRCP 2025 annual report primary-source documentation resolved watch as crossing.
CVS Health compound ACC/SYS downgrade. $615M federal overbilling (2018-2021); House Judiciary antitrust finding; HIPAA probe for patient-data lobbying; $1.3M anti-reform political ads. Precise delta -6.3 above materiality threshold.
UnitedHealth Group DOJ criminal probe deepening — Documented: . Medicare Advantage diagnosis-inflation (diagnoses recorded for patients never treated, generating billions in excess federal payments). CEO Witty resigned; Hemsley installed. Stock -50%. Congressional breakup legislation moving. Floor designation explicitly declined (partial remediation pattern). Proposed 7.5 Critical.
Entities with score changes this cycle, followed by confirmed positions.
The ACB framework is extended when conduct patterns appear that existing categories cannot capture. Each new category is dated and tied to its first-application entity, creating an auditable record of framework evolution.
Conduct category applied when an entity conducts offensive military operations in the period immediately following the expiry of a declared ceasefire or truce format, where the post-expiry operational tempo measurably exceeds the pre-format baseline.
Entities reassessed for this briefing where published scores remain supported by current evidence.
| Entity | Index | Band | Published | Assessed | Delta | Date | Finding |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
UkraineCarry-forward +3.1 | Countries | functional | 50 | 50 | 0 | Ukraine confirmed at 50.0 Functional — post-ceasefire cycle.

Russia resumed mass offensive post-expiry; no negative Ukrainian-conduct signal introduced. | |
SenegalWatch | Countries | developing | 37.5 | 37.5 | 0 | Senegal confirmed at 37.5 Developing — post-band-crossing baseline. First criminal conviction under anti-LGBTQ law (6-year sentence, April 10) is enforcement evidence beyond legislative passage. HIV-service criminalization compound deepening (UNAIDS: 25.6% HIV center visit drop). Boundary watch remains active. | |
| Fortune 500 | developing | 27.5 | 27.5 | 0 | J&J confirmed at 27.5 Developing. 67,623 active talc suits in New Jersey MDL; $1.5B single-plaintiff verdict (Dec 2025, largest-ever); third bankruptcy shield attempt moving through Congress. Accumulation ongoing; score confirmed. | ||

NepalFirst baseline | Countries | functional | 48.4 | 48.4 | 0 | Nepal FIRST BASELINE. 48.4 Functional confirmed. RSP government formed post-2025 protest transition (76 deaths by police fire — prior conduct anchor). New NHRC engagement is positive signal. Transitional justice for conflict-era violations unresolved. HRW, Amnesty, ICJ pressing for accountability, judicial independence, fundamental freedoms. | |
VanuatuWatch | Countries | developing | 35.9 | 35.9 | 0 | Vanuatu confirmed at 35.9 Developing — UNGA May 20 climate resolution pre-stage. +1.6 dimensional carry-forward (INT) logged per v1.2. Boundary watch active (0.9 below Functional floor in internal reconstruction). Domestic violence and gender gap remain negative counterweights. Reassess May 21 after vote outcome. | |
BotswanaFirst baseline | Countries | established | 67.5 | 67.5 | 0 | Botswana FIRST BASELINE (rotation substitute). 67.5 Established confirmed. Peaceful 2024 democratic transition (Boko-led UDC ended 58-year BDP rule); HIV/AIDS model treatment infrastructure; same-sex decriminalization confirmed (2019 High Court, 2021 Court of Appeal). Diamond economy strain and youth unemployment are structural negative pressures. |

COMPLETE BAD-FAITH-FORMAT CYCLE documented: pre-format collapses (May 5-7) + during-format strategic-format-exploitation (May 9-11) + post-format offensive surge (May 11-12). Floor at 0.0 sustained.
Myanmar — FLOOR CONDUCT DOCUMENTATION — Junta airstrike on opposition-run school in Oe Htein Kwin village, Sagaing Region: 22 students + 2 teachers killed (May 12).

Critical flag
·10 cycles openMath-hygiene cluster unchanged at 13 entities. All cycle counts incremented by 1. Open Bionics now at 10 cycles — CRITICAL BLOCKING ITEM. Formula audit must move from flagged to in-progress immediately. Two new sub-threshold candidates flagged but NOT added to cluster (below 2.0 flag threshold): Mauritius (+1.6 first-baseline small-state profile) and Liechtenstein (+8.0 first-baseline small-state profile). Liechtenstein gap matches Apptronik/1X/Aleph Alpha pattern magnitude but attributed to genuine small-state scoring dynamics, not formula error — validate in formula audit.
