Australia holds a 56–44 advantage over Poland on the Relative Advantage Index.
The margin is driven by economic size (GDP) (66% of the combined total, $1.8tn) and logistics & power projection (85% of the combined total, 213). Poland leads on active personnel and military spending.
1 factor — nuclear warheads — could not be scored because the figure is unpublished for at least one side. Those factors are excluded and the remaining weights renormalised, never substituted.
