Coverage caveat. Burma has severely restricted press freedom (RSF score 28). The Pulse depends on observable events; in restricted-press environments it systematically under-detects and may show artificially stable deltas. The structural Civica Index remains the primary signal. See the Pulse coverage limitations for details.

No published Pulse events for Burma in the trailing window. The Beta pipeline is in active rollout — events queued for human review do not yet contribute to the score. See the global changelog for current activity, or methodology for how this is computed.
