Research / MVP-Ready

Global Civic Reality & Power Index System

Observable signals β†’ latent constructs, with uncertainty and observability explicitly modeled. A Bayesian hierarchical system that treats observability as a first-class variable, not a nuisance.

Methodological Foundation

This index system does not claim to observe truth directly. It estimates latent constructs using heterogeneous, biased, and incomplete signals, while explicitly modeling measurement error, coverage, censorship, manipulation, missingness mechanisms, and temporal dependence.

Data Philosophy

Observable signals β†’ latent constructs, with uncertainty and observability explicitly modeled at every stage.

Model Class

Bayesian hierarchical latent variable system with observability-aware weighting and manipulation detection.

Resolution

Canonical: Country-Month (ISO-3). Sub-national resolution optional for future expansion.

Version 0.1 | Status: Research / MVP-ready | The index is reproducible, versioned, and falsifiable. All transforms are deterministic and auditable. COS affects uncertainty, not point estimates.
