Questions and Analysis
We recognise that the findings of the BPI often prompt more questions and that these questions vary depending on what use is being made of the data.
For example, you may want to know more about how certain types of countries compare to one another, or how a country’s BPI score correlates with specific factors or how countries BPI scores change over time.
We are very happy to address questions and provide further analysis, and can undertake further research on your behalf, do please contact BPI Report
