Ethical score profile
This assessment does not reduce the subject to one moral
ranking. Each dimension is scored separately from −100 to
+100 and must be read with its evidence and uncertainty.

Scope of assessment
President of Mexico and former Head of Government of Mexico City. The assessment covers climate and transport policy, social protection, scientific administration, judicial reform, military participation in public security and the unresolved disappearance and violence crisis.
The score evaluates documented public conduct during the stated period. It does not measure inherent human worth, does not constitute a legal verdict and remains open to correction when stronger evidence becomes available.
Reasoned conclusion
Climate, social-policy and administrative strengths produce a moderately positive contribution. The result is substantially reduced by militarisation, institutional-risk concerns and failure to secure victims against disappearance and violence.
This assessment presents six separate ethical dimensions rather than one overall moral score. Each result must be read with its evidence, plausible range, confidence, disputes, exclusions, severe-harm findings and sources.

Disputed claims

Excluded claims
National violence predating Sheinbaum's executive responsibility was not attributed to her except where policy continued under her leadership.
