Governance & Integrity
v0.1
16 August 2026 · closes the first revision cycle
Eight capability groups and twenty-eight capabilities, rewritten from the indices the domain attracts into the machinery those
indices observe — voice, judge, order, rule, deliver, clean, open, endure. The last domain revised; this is the version the
framework view now shows.
Information & Influence
v0.1
16 August 2026 · current
Six capability groups and eighteen capabilities, turned purely outward-facing and rewritten into the machinery of influence —
convene, ally, assist, inspire, gather, tell. This is the version the framework view now shows.
Economic Power
v0.1
16 August 2026 · dimension-wide · current
The first release cut at dimension level: Financial Strength, Production & Innovation and Trade & Investment in one
document, twenty capability groups and sixty-nine capabilities, rewritten from a catalogue of statistics to the machinery that
moves them and read at three layers — machinery, performance, position. This is the version the framework view now shows.
Critical Technology
v0.1
16 August 2026 · current
Ten capability groups and forty-seven capabilities running from matter to orbit, rewritten from a catalogue of research fields
into national capacity and read at four layers — discover, make, deploy, control. This is the version the framework view now
shows.
National Security
v0.1
16 August 2026 · current
Ten capability groups and thirty-nine capabilities along the arc of the state's use of force, rebuilt around effects rather than
equipment and validated against the measurement instruments of the field and the doctrine and force structure of states in every
region. This is the version the framework view now shows.
Human Capital
v0.1
16 August 2026 · current
Nine capability groups and twenty-five capabilities along the arc of a life, validated against the multilateral human capital
measurement regimes and national machinery in nine states and the European Union. Every description opens “The capacity to”.
This is the version the framework view now shows.
Strategic Infrastructure
v0.1
16 August 2026 · current
Ten capability groups and fifty capabilities, validated against the US, UK, EU and Australian critical infrastructure designation
regimes and NATO baseline resilience requirements. This is the version the framework view now shows.
National Capability Framework
v0.0
Baseline · fully superseded
The framework entire, encoded from the taxonomy as published before the domain revisions: three dimensions, nine domains, 68
capability groups and 254 capabilities. Boundary conditions and order logic have no v0.0 counterpart and are absent rather than
reconstructed. Every domain has since been revised, so this document is the record of what the framework was before the
first revision cycle rather than a live version of any part of it.
