How data from individual EICAT assessments of the impacts of a hypothetical alien taxon (species XY) inform the EICAT Category to which the taxon is assigned at national and global scales. The global assessment categorises the taxon based on its highest impact anywhere [in this case, a Massive (MV) impact in Vietnam]. National scale assessments are based only on impacts reported from those countries [e.g. Major (MR) for Fiji]. Data Deficient (DD) in India indicates that the alien taxon was assessed but no impact reports from India were found.
