Why these should not become one score

An average can hide a severe protection gap. MoneyMap keeps needs-attention, checked, self-reviewed, unknown, not-applicable and local-guidance-needed states separate. Missing information never becomes safe, and a self-reported review is never presented as verified adequacy.

Country rules still matter

Healthcare, insurance, tax, pensions, public benefits, property and estate rules differ materially by location. Global Basics can reveal the question and household mechanics, but only a reviewed country pack can provide localized deterministic guidance.
