Atlas / For researchers
Academics, think tanks and NGOsFor researchers, think tanks and NGOs
The whole dataset is free, the codebook is public, and the instrument publishes the tests that weaken it.
Anarcho-Communism
Anarcho-communism scores −09 on economics and anarcho-capitalism +10, and both sit at the floor of the authority axis. Any scheme that cannot express that is not measuring what it claims to measure, and the four-corner test is the fastest way to check one.
What tends to be the problem
- Existing datasets are excellent on parties and thin on movements, schools and historical regimes
- Coding schemes are often documented in a paper you cannot get at, or not documented at all
- You need something citable that does not require an institutional subscription
- You want to know a dataset's weaknesses before you build on it, not after
The free report
Six Axes: the open codebook
The full coding scheme, the anchor definitions, and an honest account of what the instrument cannot do.
- The full codebook: six axes, five anchor definitions each, with real cases at every anchor
- The evidence standard, and the kind-tagging that distinguishes a statute from a scholarly finding
- The merge and leave-one-out tests, both of which report against the instrument
- The inter-coder problem, stated plainly: one coder, no reliability figure, and what stands in its place
- How to cite the dataset, and which professional datasets to cite instead where you need authority
The report is published in full, free, with nothing to fill in. If you would rather just read it now, you can.

Free, no charge and no obligation. The atlas itself is free too — 319 organisations, 2075 pieces of evidence, and a codebook you can check before you believe any of it.
If it turns out you want the work done
Commissioned analysis applies the same method to a subject you name, to a deadline. Prices are published and fixed; there is no discovery call required before you know what something costs.
Comparative Brief
Where the question is not what one organisation is but how several relate — a governing coalition, a party family, a set of movements sharing a label. Each is coded in full and then positioned against the others and against the wider corpus.
