The source notes:
"We used a variety of credible sources to find data for each of the above categories and then ranked the countries from first to last based on this data, giving. As some factors are more important than others, the scores from ‘co-working spaces’, ‘accommodation’ and ‘sunshine/climate’ are double weighted whereas ‘remote connection’ is triple weighted – the most important factor of all.
We then added the scores together to get a total score, before ranking the countries based on this overall, final score".
