The tools hub is a lookup layer over the same country register as /country and /ranking. Counts are live SQL over has_bready / has_eplex / has_oecd flags — not marketing inventory. B-READY covers 69.7% of the 145-country registry in this extract.
Source coverage behind every lookup
Country counts with a usable score in each official extract, beside B-READY's share of the full registry. Counts and share use different denominators (source coverage vs registry size).
