What backs this comparison
Ivvora keeps source coverage, research gaps and unresolved contradictions attached to each country rather than hiding them behind one headline score.

Why Ivvora does not rank these countries with one score
Hiring cost and compliance depend on employee type, salary, employer structure, location and other scenario inputs. Ivvora therefore compares the underlying rules instead of declaring one country universally cheaper or easier.
