Public methodology
Jurisdiction Friction methodology
Transparent formula from the AUROS jurisdictions catalog — contest the inputs, not a black box.
AUROS Jurisdiction Friction Index is an indicative structuring friction score from public AUROS jurisdiction catalog inputs (fees, delays, KYC posture). It is not legal advice, not a ranking of “best” law, and not a regulator rating.
Formula (MVP)
friction ≈ fee mid (35) + delay mid (30) + license max (15) + KYC posture (≤12) + inverse catalog ease (20), clamped 0–100. Higher = more structuring friction.
Tiers: Lower <42 · Moderate 42–61 · Higher ≥62. Always pair with counsel via /jurisdictions.
