Rank#5 of 13
Score / MSP / IC8.3 / 7.8 / 4.9
IC basisMixed-vintage Fraser composite: Mozambique IAI=31.90 [Fraser 2023 carry-forward — verified via Engineering News May 2024 reporting on Fraser 2023 release; Fraser 2024 and Fraser 2025 Mozambique scores not yet captured in platform data — deferred to monthly audit cycle Q3 2026]; Tanzania IAI=68.04 [Pending PDF back-check — Fraser 2025 secondary, TanzaniaInvest March 2026]. Average=(31.90+68.04)/2=49.97÷10=5.00, adjusted to 4.9 reflecting Mozambique component awaiting Fraser 2024/2025 verification (-0.1 editorial for verification-pending Mozambique component). Prior platform values: 3.4 (v1.0.46 using mislabeled Mozambique 34.3 + Tanzania 37.1 of unknown source), 3.7 (v1.0.48.1 fix using Mozambique 31.90 + Tanzania 46.38 both labeled Fraser 2024 but actually Fraser 2023) — both superseded v1.0.51 13 May 2026. Composite mixes Fraser 2023 (Mozambique) and Fraser 2025 (Tanzania); Mozambique 2024/2025 verification pending.

Province attribution is stated on every asset record (the p field) — record-stated classification, no text inference. Whether record-stated platform classifications carry the formal Sourced label is an open editorial ruling; this page does not claim it. Contrast the country pages, where attribution requires the record to say so.
