Products·Evaluation design
Does your product honor human sovereignty?
A structured way to find out.
Why this exists
Most products extract value from people without examining whether they should. This toolkit gives you a structured, honest way to evaluate whether the technology you build - or the technology you use - treats people as sovereign beings or as resources to be mined.
It does not require an ethics degree. It requires honesty.
What the $49 adds
You can run the whole assessment right now for nothing - all 47 items, the 6 red flags, a subtotal for each of the 7 domains, your overall score, and the band it lands in. That is the free checklist, and it stays free. The $49 toolkit does not resell you the questions. It adds four things.
Polished rubric
Reads the pattern across your domain scores, not just the number - what your result actually says about the product.
Domain health map
See at a glance which of the 7 domains are strong and which are quietly failing.
Action-plan template
Prioritize the gaps, assign owners, set timelines. Turn the assessment into a sprint.
Team license + PDF
Run it across your org, not just your own desk - in a clean PDF you can hand to a board, a client, or a procurement reviewer.
The seven domains
Transparency
"Are we honest about what we're doing and why?"
Autonomy
"Does the product support user goals - or hijack them?"
Invitation
"Are we inviting people in - or trapping them?"
Dignity
"Do we treat people as whole beings - or as conversion targets?"
Silence
"Do we know when to stop talking?"
Data sovereignty
"Who owns what - and do they know it?"
AI and voice
"If an AI speaks for us, does it honor the people it speaks to?"
Who this is for
Product teams
Run this on your product before your users run it for you. Surface the gaps between what you intend and what you've built.
Procurement and compliance
Evaluate vendor products before adoption. A structured rubric is more useful than a trust-me pitch deck.
Founders
Build the assessment into your development process from day one. It's cheaper to honor sovereignty than to retrofit it.
Buy the toolkit
The assessment is free, two ways: as a free Claude skill, /sovereignty-assess, that runs you through the same 47 items conversationally, and as a free printable checklist you can score by hand with nothing leaving your desk. The PDF below is the polished, team-ready version - the scoring rubric, the domain health map, and the action-plan template, for offline use and distribution. Sovereignty is the free part; polish is the paid part.
