'''''Performance and Risk Analysis''''' is located under the Specialized Display sub-option, as well as on the [[Main_Menu_Map\|Main Menu Map]]. This feature is a tool to forecast the level of risk and performance of a given country or group over a time horizon of nearly one hundred years.

	The first step in using this feature is to decide whether to examine a [[Country/Region,_Group_or_G-List\|country or a group]]. For this example, ~~we shall use~~ the country ~~Venezuela~~.		The first step in using this feature is to decide whether to examine a [[Country/Region,_Group_or_G-List\|country or a group]]. For this example, the selected country is Kenya. Next, decide which year to examine. Select any year up to 2100 using the “Select Year” drop-down at the top of the screen. Next, decide which file to use.
	[[File:Performance Risk.png\|center\|thumb\|900x900px\|Example of a performance and risk evaluation for Kenya 2030]]		[[File:Performance Risk.png\|center\|thumb\|900x900px\|Example of a performance and risk evaluation for Kenya 2030]]
	Next, decide which year to examine. The year for the example above is set at 2010, but the user can view any year up to 2100. Next, decide which file to use. The example above is using the Policy First file.

	The calculation of the performance and risk is based on a number of variables, such as Corruption, Youth Bulge, and State fragility, divided into categories, such as Governance, Population, and Social/Political. The variables are highlighted in green, yellow or red. The color indicates whether or not the variable has met the goal level set for that variable. If it has, the variable will be highlighted in green. If it has not, it will either be highlighted in yellow, if the value for the variable is between the alert level and the goal level, or in red, if the value for the variable has crossed the threshold for the alert level.

	Notice that the example above has one variable highlighted in red. The value for corruption is 2.4216, which is below the alert level value of 3. Now, adjust the selected year to 2005. Instead of two variables highlighted in green and one in red, each of the values for the variables is highlighted in a different color. The value for the youth bulge is 0.4046, which is between the alert level value of 0.5 and the goal level of 0.4. The value of the variable is accordingly highlighted in yellow.

			These goal and alert levels can be evaluated in two ways:

			- Absolute evaluation compares each variable to fixed global targets.

			- Relative evaluation with income level adjusts the thresholds based on a country’s income group, although income groups are not displayed explicitly; only the goal and alert values change accordingly.
