New Mexico regulatory footprint index
A single 0-100 index combining New Mexico's standing on 3 of 3 tracked measures: enacted-law volume, portal tracker strictness, and tracked-category breadth. This describes how extensive New Mexico's tracked regulatory footprint is, not a judgment of good or bad governance. A missing measure would drop out and redistribute its weight rather than deflating the index.
