Sovereignty is being contested on three fronts at once. Most of the losses are silent.
Whatever you lead — a nation, an institution, a fund, an enterprise — you are already exposed on at least one loss of sovereignty, and none of it appears in a rating, a threat assessment or a briefing. ISII delivers the critical intelligence needed to make your exposure measurable, and the intervention strategy needed to make it actionable.
Who shapes what your society sees, believes and acts on?
Nearly six billion people now think inside attention architectures owned by enterprises from two states — and the capture feels like freedom, so no one resists it.
The Cognitive Sovereignty Index places every nation on a five-tier ladder, from Captured to Sovereign.
No nation today qualifies as Sovereign — the highest tier reached anywhere is Guarded.
Can you finance and sustain growth and prosperity?
Building the Information Age is a US$123 trillion task, priced country by country. Markets charge for power — not for the durability beneath it.
The Growth & Prosperity Map measures the power to capture the decade’s growth — and the durability to keep it.
Of twelve advanced economies mapped, only six are positioned to attempt to capture the opportunities ahead.
In the technology economy, who holds decisive leverage — and who is exposed to it?
Compute, data, platforms, energy, materials, standards, infrastructure — every economy on Earth sits downstream of at least two chokepoints it does not hold.
The Technology Index is the instrument to score leverage, not only capability, at every chokepoint.
China controls four chokepoints; America three. Everyone else pays tolls on systems they do not control, paving the way for strategic dependence.
The research and pilot findings are available now. The first public editions of all three instruments publish in autumn to winter 2026 — every public score is free to read and cite.
From insight, to measurement, to intervention.
Critical insight and foresight.
Research that reads geopolitics, technology, cognition and capital in one frame — re-interprets events, identifying transitions, shocks and inflection points before they become consensus.
Distinctive measurement.
Three public instruments turn the research into comparable positions — the first of their kind, free to read and use.
From diagnosis to intervention.
Confidential briefings and mandates apply the work to individual nations, portfolios or enterprises — before vulnerabilities turn into constraints and harden into dependence.
The Institute is independent — of every donor, client and member alike.
The Institute →The essential insights are made available to all. The Members Circle are provided access to the whole picture.
Every ISII paper, score and briefing is read first by a deliberately small, invitation-only room of the people who can act on it. Membership is by invitation or nomination.
