MCC · 44/100 — La note Magna est notre composite 0–100 de la puissance nationale structurelle — cinq dimensions, plus de 100 indicateurs. C'est l'évaluation propre du Bureau, pas un miroir des chiffres de la Banque mondiale ou de la CIA.
Momentum 0 — Momentum trimestriel : la lecture du Bureau sur la trajectoire du pays au dernier trimestre, de −10 (dégradation rapide) à +10 (accélération).
Le signal du trimestre fut le silence : aucun développement domestique majeur, aucun choc externe, aucune percée diplomatique.
Le cap du pays reste ce qu'il était en juin — fixé par des réalités structurelles qu'aucun trimestre ne réécrit.
