Mozambique holds a 84–16 advantage over Eswatini on the Relative Advantage Index, a decisive margin.
The margin is driven by military spending (83% of the combined total, $468m) and economic size (GDP) (82% of the combined total, $22.7bn).
1 factor — nuclear warheads — could not be scored because the figure is unpublished for at least one side.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.
