The G20 Common Framework has been invoked by only four countries in six years, and even its most-cited 'successes' (Zambia, Ghana) took 3-5 years and still leave commercial-creditor tails unresolved -- the tradeable edge here is identifying which specific restructuring-situation participants (debtor- and creditor-side advisors, steering-committee funds) profit from actually closing these mechanically slow, single-country deals, not owning broad EM/frontier sovereign-debt beta.

| Indicator | Score | Reading |
|---|---|---|
| Maturity higher is better · high confidence | 55/100 | The G20 Common Framework mechanism is live and operating but has been invoked by only four countries in six years; actual case resolution is early and uneven. |
| Evidence Strength higher is better · high confidence | 85/100 | Heavily anchored in IMF programme documents and sovereign Treasury disclosures, cross-corroborated by dated press on each active case. |
| Commercial Proximity higher is better · high confidence | 59/100 | Real, named restructuring cases exist now, but the specific commercial wedge (advisory fees, steering-committee recoveries) is deal-by-deal and not uniformly closed. |
| Capital & Policy Support higher is better · high confidence | 69/100 | A genuine, if narrow, multilateral policy architecture (IMF programmes plus the G20 Common Framework/OCC process) drives these specific cases forward, unevenly. |
| Crowding Risk lower is better · high confidence | 22/100 | A thin, specialist niche of advisors and dedicated distressed-debt funds, not a crowded or richly-valued trade. |
| Reflexivity Risk lower is better · high confidence | 54/100 | Deal-news-driven but not wildly reflexive; the biggest repricing already occurred at each country's original default. |
