    Scenario

    Using the sample Kifuliiru field values below, compute Sovereignty Index.

    Input data

    Illustrative inputs

    QuantitySymbolValue
    Linguistic sovereignty (0 to 1)L_sov0.55
    Count of borrowed/loanwords in active useW_trans150
    Count of native Kifuliiru words in active useW_native200

    Reasoning

    Use the listed values (L_sov = 0.55, W_trans = 150, W_native = 200) in the formula. The computed result is approximately 0.25. Interpret that value against the formula's stated purpose before using it in a report.
