> I once took a deep dive into the methodology of one of the custodians of "democracy rankings". It is one of the 2 most popular custodians.

Why not just say which it is? Are you trying to give your post a veneer of unbiased-ness while retaining plausible deniability?

It was one of the two: VDem, or Freedom House.

I don't remember with 100% surety which one it was. I think it was VDem.

The reason I called it a "deep dive" is because it took a huge amount of digging in their publications to find the specifics of the methodology.
