Independent advisory board
Why important?
Additional oversight/accountability for sovereignty decisions.
How measured?
Scale 0–5 + N/A:
- 0 = No board / no independent governance
- 1 = Planned/announced, not established
- 2 = Internal committee without independence
- 3 = External advisory board, but limited role/no real powers
- 4 = Independent board with formal mandate (oversight), documented
- 5 = Independent board with clear rights (oversight/control) + transparency/evidence
- N/A = no reliable evidence
Validation questions (RFP)
- Are there independent governance bodies? What powers do they have? What reporting/audit obligations exist?
