Field notes
The index separates ten domains into inner and outer flower rings, then lets visitors change their relative importance with 0–10 sliders. The OECD average remains fixed at 5 while Taiwan, Japan and Korea move above or below it according to the supplied data. Taiwan’s figures are reconstructed from national sources to match OECD definitions as closely as possible, while Japan and Korea use OECD-linked datasets.
