What the five columns measure

Formal authority

The constitutional and command weight of the most senior post held.

From a published, editable weight table. An editorial judgement, openly stated.

Proximity to the executive

How few institutional steps separate this person from the presidency.

Computed: shortest path to the presidency node over documented edges only.

Tenure and survival

Years in senior post, weighted by how many regime ruptures were survived in office.

Computed purely from position intervals. The most defensible index here.

Brokerage

How much this person connects parts of the network that would otherwise be separate.

Computed: normalised betweenness centrality. Surfaces intermediaries over headline names.

Cross-layer reach

How many of the analytical layers — security, political, economic, media, judicial, civil society, foreign — the person operates in.

Computed from layer membership, as a share of the layers currently enabled. Narrowing the layer filter changes the denominator.

This is a ranking of structural position, not of who secretly runs the country. A high brokerage score means the dataset records this person connecting otherwise separate networks; it is not evidence of wrongdoing, coordination, or hidden control.
