Côte d'Ivoire holds a 66–34 advantage over Guinea on the Relative Advantage Index, a clear margin.
The margin is driven by economic size (GDP) (78% of the combined total, $87.1bn) and military spending (56% of the combined total, $759m).
1 factor — nuclear warheads — could not be scored because the figure is unpublished for at least one side.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.
