MCB · 54/100 — 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).
Un trimestre neutre au sens le plus vrai : rien ne s'est produit qui ait modifié le cap ou le rang du pays.
Le score enregistre honnêtement l'absence de momentum — les courants profonds continuent, indifférents au calendrier.
