The Certified Intent Auditor (CIA) Level I is the world's first professional credential in leadership intent auditing. Over eight weeks, you will learn to decode the "Internal Manuals" of presidents, governors, CEOs, and central bankers — and produce forensic audits that investment committees, boards, and government agencies can rely on.
Every module is delivered through a blend of live virtual sessions, pre-recorded lectures, forensic exercises, and peer-reviewed audits — taking you from philosophical foundations to advanced commercial applications.
Understand the collapse of the "Rules-Based Order" and the urgent need for a new taxonomy of power. You'll learn the core concepts of Sovereign Intent, the Internal Manual, and our comparative advantage over Weber and Hobbes.
A forensic deep-dive into each of the five leadership operating systems. Master the linguistic markers, budget signals, and behavioural patterns that distinguish each level — from Materialist to Theocratic Steward.
The engine room of the certification. Learn the Accountability Audit™, calculate the SIR on a 0–20 scale, and interpret risk matrices. Audit real-world leaders using authentic speech transcripts and budget documents.
Learn forensic techniques for detecting when a leader is "performing" a higher Stratum to conceal a more dangerous core. Master the Masking Confidence Index (MCI), the "Budget Bone" test, and detection of linguistic slips.
Translate your forensic audits into investment signals. Apply the Capital Allocation Checklist, calculate the Intent-Yield Spread, and construct governance-informed portfolios. Where the framework meets the Bloomberg terminal.
Deploy your CIA designation in the real world. Deliver Intent Pulse Briefings, perform Manual Verifications of counterparties, draft Risk Mitigation Memos, and lead board-level "Manual Sync" calls.
Your mastery of the framework is tested through the Sovereign Intent Certification (SIC-100) — a 100-question, four-domain examination demanding both theoretical fluency and forensic precision. Passing score: 85%.
Tests your knowledge of the five Strata, Intent Drift, and the philosophical foundations of the framework.
Questions on the SIR algorithm, the Digital Audit Log, and the interpretation of the Risk Matrix.
Tests the Linguistic Slip, the Budget Bone, the Masking Filter, and the Masking Confidence Index (MCI).
Questions on the Capital Allocation Checklist, the Intent-Yield Spread, and the "Flight to Intent" protocol.
The final ten questions are a live simulation. You will receive a 5-page dossier on a fictional 2026 conflict — speech excerpts, budget data, and institutional friction events. You must audit the leader, assign an SIR score, predict their next move, and draft a mitigation strategy for a multinational corporation on the ground. This is the crucible that separates a true Certified Intent Auditor from someone who has merely read the textbook.
Upon passing the SIC-100, every CIA candidate must publicly affirm the Auditor's Oath. This is not a formality — it is the ethical cornerstone of the profession, your public commitment to rigour and integrity, and your shield when a client or a court asks you to justify an audit.
"I will not let my personal political, ideological, or theological bias influence the forensic assessment of a leader's true Strata or SIR Score."
"I believe a leader's ledger more than their lips. I will prioritise Action-based Data (budget allocations, judicial compliance) over Rhetoric-only Data when a discrepancy exists."
"I recognise that in a power vacuum, the most Prepared Intent wins. I will not advocate for a specific successor, but will forecast the Intent of all probable actors."
