The Intelligence Coherence Index scores whether executive intent, fusion architecture and analytic tradecraft hold together – so fragmentation shows on an index before it shows up as surprise.
ICI reads coherence where a warning travels – across the layers that must carry it from collection to decision. Every organisation has a level below which the truth is known and above which it is optimised into good news – what Bruce Webster called the thermocline of truth. A warning dies at that line. ICI measures how high truth actually rises across three layers, and where it stop
Tasking clarity, insulated from partisan capture and stable across leadership cycles.
Whether collectors, analysts and agencies share one picture – no hoarding, no orphaned channels.
Model adaptability, dissemination responsiveness, and warning-to-action readiness.
A single score revealing whether a warning in one node becomes a decision – and the cross-level drift that stops it.
Measure whether a specific, timely warning survives the journey from collection to a decision – round after round.

Learn more →Each round follows the same disclosed process – so coherence is comparable across rounds, before and after reform.
Define the function under assessment and the respondent structure across the executive, fusion and analytic layers.
Each layer answers only what it can credibly see. Analyst responses are anonymous and reported as aggregates.
The index scores each layer, computes cross-level drift, and applies the sustainability and velocity constraints.
A leadership debrief, a written diagnostic naming the lagging layer, and a roadmap for the next round.
ICI runs the published Adaptive Coherence computation, re-labelled for the intelligence enterprise: disclosed formulas, repeatable rounds, no privileged inputs.
Identical, peer-reviewed computation to the ACI – alignment, capability, a sustainability multiplier and a velocity penalty.
Re-run assessments to track coherence recovery after an incident or a reform programme.
Captures the executive, fusion and analytic-tradecraft perspectives that must move together.
Built entirely on published methodology. Assessments use your own inputs – never classified material.
Annual programmes, secure deployment, and engagements scoped to your mandate.
The deadliest failures are rarely failures of collection. Reconstructing a compound failure of coherence.
Standing up a fusion centre on paper doesn't make a warning travel. What real fusion requires.
You can put a number on coherence. How the ICI reads an intelligence enterprise across three layers.
