Report an inaccuracy
Every number on this site is derived from sources anybody can go and read. That is what makes a correction possible, and it is also what a correction has to be built from.
What happens to a report
A report is read by a person. Where it holds up, the source behind it is added to the registry with its licence and its weight, and the score changes at the next run with the new evidence quoted on the country page like any other. Where it does not, nothing changes quietly: a score that moved without a source a reader can check would undo the only thing this site offers.
What a report needs
A link, above everything else. A score cannot be changed because somebody said so, however well they know the country. Somebody who has been stopped and searched at a border knows something real, and the form of it this site can use is the reporting, the statute or the filing that recorded it.
- A link to reporting, a statute, a court filing or a published research report.
- The date it describes, which is often not the date it was published.
- Which country and which of the seven dimensions it bears on.
- What it establishes that the current evidence does not.
What is already known to be missing
Two dimensions are thin almost everywhere. Border device risk and network threat are scored for most countries from general indicators rather than from anything reported about devices at that border or attacks on visitors to that network, and the country pages say so where that is the case. Reporting that speaks to either of those directly is the most useful thing anybody could send.
What is not an inaccuracy
A score being higher than a country's own view of itself is not, by itself, an error. The question these scores answer is narrow: what a visitor carrying a phone and a laptop is exposed to. A country can be safe to travel in and still search devices at its border, and the two are scored separately for that reason. A disagreement about the sources, their dates or what they establish is worth raising. So is a source that has been superseded, a law repealed, or a block lifted, all of which this site would otherwise keep reflecting until the next annual index catches up.
