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).

What to do with this hub

Use the tools to place a score in the published cohort before reading a country profile — they do not advise hiring or termination decisions.

Scores are registry lookups from ILO, World Bank, and OECD extracts — not legal advice and not a prediction about any employment dispute.
