System Intelligence turns grand challenges into navigable knowledge bases. Each system maps organizations, people, tools, and content — with connections between them and RSS monitoring for real-time updates.
Active Systems
Civic Space & Democracy Protection Ecosystem
Global ecosystem of organizations protecting and expanding civic space, civil liberties, freedom of assembly, and citizen participation in the context of preventing democratic backsliding
Democratic Resilience Ecosystem
Organizations working on rebuilding democratic political culture, preventing democratic backsliding, trust in institutions, pluralism, depolarization, and democratic norms globally.
Electoral Integrity & Democratic Protection Ecosystem
Global ecosystem of organizations working on electoral integrity, election monitoring, voter protection, and peaceful transfers of power to prevent democratic backsliding
How can we reduce global methane release by 80% in the next 20 years?
A systems change portfolio analysis mapping the network interventions needed to achieve an 80% reduction in anthropogenic methane emissions by 2046. Spans all major source categories — oil & gas, agriculture & livestock, waste & landfills, coal mining — across all geographies. Methane is responsible for ~30% of global warming since the industrial revolution and has 80x the warming potential of CO2 over 20 years, making rapid reduction one of the highest-leverage climate interventions available.
How can we reduce homelessness in California by 90% by 2035?
A systems change portfolio analysis mapping the network interventions needed to reduce California's homeless population from ~187,000 to ~18,000 by 2035 — spanning housing production, prevention, behavioral health, policy reform, financing, workforce, and narrative dimensions. California has 28% of the nation's homeless population and the highest unsheltered rate (66%). Recent progress (9% unsheltered drop in 2025) is threatened by declining state/federal funding.
How might we triple the number of people living in full democracies by 2050?
A systems change portfolio analysis focused on preventing democratic backsliding in existing democracies while deepening democratic quality globally. The goal is to triple the share of people living in full democracies (as measured by the Economist Democracy Index) from ~8% to ~24% of global population by 2050. Primary focus on defending existing democracies against erosion, with secondary focus on elevating high-scoring flawed democracies to full democracy status.
Judicial Independence & Rule of Law Ecosystem
Global organizations and networks working to prevent democratic backsliding through judicial independence, rule of law, and preventing court political capture
Media Independence, Press Freedom & Information Integrity Ecosystem
Global ecosystem of organizations working on media independence, press freedom, and information integrity — specifically those focused on defending democracy against disinformation, media capture, and epistemic fragmentation. Organized across four strategy dimensions: Activist (advocacy/pressure), Entrepreneur (innovation), Reformer (institutional coordination), and Transformer (paradigm shift).
Oceanic Plastic Pollution
Network portfolio analysis for eliminating oceanic plastic pollution within 20 years — stopping the flow of plastic into oceans and removing existing debris, globally.
Tech Governance for Democracy Ecosystem
Organizations and initiatives working on governing technology (AI, social media, surveillance) in ways that strengthen rather than undermine democratic governance and prevent democratic backsliding
Transnational Democratic Solidarity Ecosystem
Global ecosystem of organizations working on transnational democratic solidarity—countering authoritarian influence, supporting democratic movements across borders, and building international democracy infrastructure
