Comparative standing across 48 economies on both lenses. Sort any column; click a country for its full profile.

Two lenses, two answers. CC (Cognitive Coefficient) is per-capita intensity — like GDP-per-capita or the HDI, it rewards how deep infrastructure runs per person, so small advanced economies and the US top it. CPI (Cognitive Power) is absolute national capacity — total compute, investment, talent and research output. A populous nation can sit mid-table on CC yet dominate on CPI: e.g. China is #2 on CPI (a clear #2 power) but #7 on CC, because its 1.4 billion people dilute per-capita metrics even as it leads the world in total researchers, publications and patents. Sort by either column to switch lens.
