Quick answer

The WhereNext Relocation Readiness Score is the final go/no-go check before committing to a move. It evaluates your profile against 6 critical dimensions for any of 95 destination countries: visa access (do you actually qualify?), budget fit (does your savings + income cover the year-1 setup + ongoing?), healthcare access (public eligibility + age-adjusted insurance), safety (composite GPI + violent-crime data), language barrier (English Proficiency Index + practical-life impact), and tax impact (origin + destination + special regimes). Blockers come with resolution timelines, specific next-step actions, and direct links to the right specialist tool to fix each one. Requires a completed onboarding-quiz profile for meaningful results.
