HEAD TO HEAD
Barbados vs Grenada
Verdict
Barbados holds a 74–26 advantage over Grenada on the Relative Advantage Index, a decisive margin.
The margin is driven by economic size (GDP) (85% of the combined total, $7.5bn) and active personnel (100% of the combined total, 1.0k). Grenada leads on logistics & power projection.
2 factors — military spending, nuclear warheads — could not be scored because the figure is unpublished for at least one side.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.
