A twelve-axis self-assessment
Locating a political position across twelve axes.
Economic organization, the distribution of authority, social and cultural questions, and a state's conduct abroad — each measured separately, reported with its reasoning, and comparable with another respondent's.
Fifteen minutes of applied dilemmas, calibration scales, and budget allocations produce a surveyed position on all twelve axes.

Where the two diverge
Legitimacy Basis
One grounds authority in how leaders are chosen; the other in what they deliver.
International Engagement
One would bind the nation into deeper cooperation; the other guards independent action.
Governance Structure
One would push decisions down to local bodies; the other keeps them national.
Internal tension
One respondent's stated and revealed preferences pull against each other on technology governance. The report names the conflict and shows the items that produced it.
