Help build the real-world household dataset

HSI-C tells us what household-controlled productive infrastructure could do. The next dataset comes from what real households actually experience.

HSI-C models what qualifying household infrastructure could produce. HSI-R measures what household-controlled systems actually produce in the real world: paid work completed, revenue earned, energy used, productive costs incurred, and the household needs that remain.

How it works

Five stages, opened one at a time.

  1. 01Join

    An email address and explicit consent. Nothing else required.

  2. 02Household profile

    Household size and structure, coarse geography, tenure, and the cost categories that make up remaining purchased needs.

  3. 03Productive stack

    Locally controlled energy, productive compute hardware, and the locally executed model and harness.

  4. 04Operating observations

    Qualifying autonomous work performed, accepted outcomes, realized revenue, productive energy use and operating costs.

  5. 05Verification

    Optional corroboration that raises an observation above self-reported.

HSI-C models what household-controlled productive infrastructure could provide. We are building the next dataset from households willing to share real operating results.

Register interest in the household research panel

Enrollment is the first step. The household profile, productive stack and operating-observation stages open as each is built, and a personalized profile is not available yet.

Pseudonymous household records and coarse geography. No Social Security numbers, no bank credentials, no exact street address. Contributed observations stay classified as self-reported until independently corroborated or machine-measured.

What you get back

Your household sovereignty profile.

Participants will be able to see how their household compares with the broader HSI research model and what currently stands between them and sovereignty parity.

  • Your household's estimated HSI-C
  • Your distance to sovereignty parity
  • Which constraint currently matters most — energy, local compute, autonomous capability, paying demand, capital cost or remaining needs
  • How your position changes as models improve, hardware prices fall and energy economics change
  • Anonymous comparison with similar households, once enough contributed data exist

What we would ask for

The contribution data model, published before it is collected.

Household profile

  • Household size, adults and children
  • Coarse geography — never an exact street address
  • Renter or homeowner, and relevant housing situation
  • The major cost categories that make up remaining purchased needs

Energy

  • Locally controlled energy generation
  • Grid use where relevant
  • Productive compute energy
  • Storage, where present

Productive stack

  • Compute hardware
  • Local model
  • Harness or agent system
  • Whether the productive workload is locally executable

Productive work

  • Task or productive-intention type
  • Autonomous completion and human intervention
  • Accepted output and duration
  • Productive energy consumed

Economics

  • Price and revenue for paid outcomes
  • Variable cost
  • Capital cost, where relevant
  • Actual productive utilization

Privacy and evidence

What we never ask for.

  • Social Security numbers
  • Bank credentials or account numbers
  • Exact street addresses
  • Anything not required to compute HSI

Self-reported data never silently becomes a verified observation. Evidence source and verification level are recorded separately from the HSI evidence classification.
