1. The money-metrics: the headcount-ratio (the poor's percentage); the poverty-gap (the depth's measure); the severity (the squared-gap (the distribution-sensitivity)); the lines' construction (the food-basket's cost (the calorie-anchor's 2,220-type lore) + the non-food).
2. The survey machinery: the NLSS (the Nepal Living Standards Survey (the rounds' series (the 2022/23 round's latest face: about one-fifth below the national line (the honest hedge: the survey figures' citation by year)))); the CPI's companion (the price-updating).
3. The multidimensional measures: the global MPI (the Oxford-UNDP's measure (the Nepal's striking reduction: the decade's halving-plus story (the ~30-percent-to-teens trajectory (the 2018-and-2022 figures' record)))); the national MPI (the NPC's localization).
4. The complementary indicators: the Gini (the inequality's rise (the remittance-era's paradox)); the HDI (the human's composite); the vulnerability's measures (the near-poor's world).
