About us

Mission

To strengthen the digital resilience of Ukraine and democratic societies: to research information threats with evidence-based methods, to build open methodologies and technologies, and to place them in the hands of those who make decisions — government institutions, media, the research community and civil society.

The problem we address

Disinformation, propaganda and cyber attacks no longer operate separately. They work together and are designed to outpace a society’s ability to recognise them, forcing decisions to be made quickly and on incomplete data.

At the same time, most existing assessments of information threats are opaque: it is unclear what data they rest on, how complete that data is, and where measurement ends and assumption begins. An assessment that cannot be verified is of little use for public policy, for scholarship, or for journalism.

This is the gap we close. We build tools and methodologies in which every indicator carries its source, its limits of applicability, and the means for independent verification.

Working principles

These are not declarations. They are requirements built into our methodologies and products.

Evidence

Every conclusion carries its sources, the stored evidence behind it, and the versions of the models that produced it.

Reproducibility

Results can be repeated and checked independently. An assessment that cannot be reproduced is not published.

Honesty about uncertainty

Data completeness and uncertainty are measured separately and shown explicitly. “Insufficient evidence” is a permitted answer.

The human decides

Our systems prepare material for an analyst. They do not issue automated verdicts about people or organisations.

Openness

We aim to publish methodologies, standards and aggregated indicators openly, so that others can build on them.

Independence

We do not work in the interests of political actors and do not assess subjects to order.

Who we work for

  • Government institutions

    An analytical basis for decisions, and policy recommendations on information and cyber security.

  • Media and fact-checkers

    Tools and data for examining information campaigns as a whole, not only individual messages.

  • The research community

    Open methodologies and reproducible indicator sets suitable for independent study.

  • Communities and civil society organisations

    Practical material for building resilience to manipulation and digital threats.
