The composite multiplies by 2 for a 0-10 display scale. Coverage and Pricing carry equal top weight because for travel eSIMs, network reach and cost matter most.
Country-specific adjustments for Guyana: Single-carrier markets like Guyana receive a ceiling of 4.0/5 on Coverage, since no failover redundancy exists. Unlimited plan availability in Guyana adjusts the Pricing dimension to weight per-day unlimited rates alongside per-GB fixed rates.
