Brazil holds a 62–38 advantage over Poland on the Relative Advantage Index, a clear margin.
The margin is driven by economic size (GDP) (70% of the combined total, $2.2tn) and logistics & power projection (83% of the combined total, 183). Poland leads on military spending.
1 factor — nuclear warheads — could not be scored because the figure is unpublished for at least one side. Those factors are excluded and the remaining weights renormalised, never substituted.
