Risk factors

- Relative trajectory — Falling behind: Risk: the relative gap is widening — a compounding disadvantage that can pull capital and talent toward leaders and deepen dependency. The clearest call to act.
- Binding weakness — Cognitive Velocity 2.9% (#43/50, Developing): slow improvement — at risk of drifting backwards in relative terms as the frontier advances.
