# Gaps — rule_of_law_corruption

**As of:** 2026-09-25 · SEA-11  
**Companion:** `topics/governance_risk/` owns WGI GE/RoL/CoC + RSF + INFORM — **do not duplicate WGI into this scoreboard.**

## Empty snapshot cells (true GAPs)

| iso3 | metric | Notes |
|------|--------|-------|
| BRN | `cpi_score`, `cpi_rank` | **Absent from CPI 2024** (180 economies). Last TI/OWID series year **2020 = 60** — **STALE**; document only in gaps/narrative, **never** put 60 in the 2024 scoreboard as current. TI country page may show later vintages (e.g. post-2024) — badge year; this pack locks **CPI 2024**. |
| BRN | `wjp_overall`, `wjp_rank_global`, `wjp_rank_eap`, `wjp_absence_of_corruption` | Not in WJP 142. Grey empty — not zero. |
| LAO | all `wjp_*` | Not in WJP 142. CPI present (33 / 114). |
| TLS | all `wjp_*` | Not in WJP 142. CPI present (44 / 73). |

## Coverage firewalls (not gaps — intentional)

1. **CPI ≠ WJP overall ≠ WGI CoC** — perception aggregate vs household/expert rule-of-law vs WB governance estimate. Separate panels; never one “integrity score”.
2. **WJP Factor 2 (`wjp_absence_of_corruption`) ≠ CPI** — Factor 2 is experience/expert corruption absence inside the RoL framework; CPI is a multi-source perception composite. Dual-story lock.
3. **Grey empties, not zeros** for BRN CPI 2024 and BRN/LAO/TLS WJP.

## Indicator / series GAPs

| Wanted | Status |
|--------|--------|
| CPI 2024 for Brunei | **GAP** — not published in 2024 tables |
| WJP multi-year SEA panel | Index PDF + country briefs only for **2024**; `/downloads/HISTORICAL.xlsx` returned SPA HTML (not a workbook) on pull date — timeseries carries WJP **2024 snapshot only** |
| Full TI CPI maps/report PDF (`files.transparencycdn.org`) | **403** from this host; locked numbers from **CPI2024_Tables_Final.pdf** (TI chapter tables) + OWID republish (2024 verified equal) |
| `wgi_coc_companion` | Optional pointer only — live numbers stay in `governance_risk` |
