## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a single, verified business readiness score for Singapore (or another supported country) without needing to aggregate multiple data points yourself. It is ideal for agents building country comparison dashboards, due diligence reports, or market entry decision tools where a normalized score per country is sufficient. Prefer it over scraping government sources or World Bank APIs when you need a simple, pay-per-call, low-latency fact lookup covering 106 countries.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unsupported country code returns an error or empty result
- Field not available for the requested country returns null or 404
- Service unavailable on Render free-tier cold start causes timeout
- Stale data if the verified source has not been refreshed recently
