The score is the summary. This page shows the full research architecture behind it: triangulation across independent evidence,the seven research-derived dimensions,the variables inside each dimension,weighted comparative scores,evidence quality and robustness testing.

RMBI looks for directional agreement across independent qualifying studies. More independent evidence pointing toward the same insight increases confidence;mixed evidence weakens it.
Confidence rises when independent evidence converges.
Four independent studies support the same directional insight. One study differs,but the majority still converges.
Important: this animation illustrates the triangulation concept. Actual RMBI calculations use only qualifying evidence aligned to each dimension.
These are comparative RMBI index scores on a 0–100 scale,not raw survey percentages. Watch the ranking build from zero to the final publication-locked scores.
Choose a religious group to see how its seven RMBI dimension scores combine into a distinctive profile. The dashed ring marks the 50-point reference level.
The Latter-day Saint profile is strongest in charitable giving,volunteer service,religious engagement and member resources.
The radar shows the seven-dimension shape of one community. This view flips the question: choose one RMBI dimension and compare how every included community performs on that same measure.
