How the Program Index is scored.
A transparent composite, published so advisors and clients can see exactly what drives each score. Sub-scores are 0–100; the index is their weighted average.
Affordability
22%Lower capital scores higher
Anchored on the parsed minimum investment. Points-based routes with no investment score highest.
Processing speed
20%Shorter timelines score higher
Uses the parsed indicative timeline in months.
Presence flexibility
16%Lower required presence scores higher
Uses the physical-presence proxy honestly — no fabricated day counts.
Family inclusion
12%Family-inclusive routes score higher
Whether a spouse and dependants can typically be included.
Due-diligence ease
14%Lower scrutiny scores higher
Derived from the risk tier; enhanced/high checks reduce the sub-score.
Passport power gained
16%Higher visa-free mobility scores higher
Joined to the passport snapshot where available. Destinations outside the snapshot use a neutral baseline pending advisor review.
How the score is combined
Each factor produces a 0–100 sub-score from the parsed programme data. The index is the weight-multiplied average of those sub-scores (weights sum to 100). Destinations outside the passport snapshot use a neutral baseline for the passport-power factor, clearly flagged on each card.
Indicative composite benchmark — varies by case and is not a ranking of guaranteed outcomes. Advisor review required.
