Pakistan holds a 77–23 advantage over Oman on the Relative Advantage Index, a decisive margin.
The margin is driven by military spending (66% of the combined total, $11.9bn) and economic size (GDP) (78% of the combined total, $372bn).
1 factor — nuclear warheads — could not be scored because the figure is unpublished for at least one side.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.
