NexCircle Fit Score

NexCircle Fit Score is made up of sub-indicators across four modules; the sub-indicators are not added into a single total score. Scored items under Regulatory & Visa, Cost & Affordability, and Third Space come from NexCircle's own data. Institutional facts with an official or legal basis are shown as tags rather than forced into a number. Items without a verifiable data source yet are listed by name and marked as in progress.
