Description

Forbes ranks billionaires. Wikipedia describes people. Nothing puts a mayor, a CEO, and a head of state on one scale — until now. Search any name and get a power tier (Town to Global) scored on 6 dimensions, sourced and confidence-scored, not an AI guess. 870+ profiles, 3,000+ mapped connections. Is your own profile here? Claim it to correct details or add sources. Free to browse.

Could you build this?

Partial The web directory and relationship graph UI are straightforward, but building a verified, defensible multi-dimensional power index across hundreds of public figures requires an extensive proprietary dataset and methodology.

What it would actually take: The frontend is a standard Next.js directory with graph visualizations (e.g., Cytoscape or D3) backed by PostgreSQL or Neo4j. The primary bottleneck is the proprietary intelligence and research dataset: establishing a rigorous, defensible scoring rubric across 6 dimensions with cross-verified primary sources for hundreds of political, civic, and corporate figures. Vibe coding can spin up the platform shell, but cannot manufacture the investigative research, data integrity verification, and editorial framework that constitute the core product.

{# Ad rails are position:fixed (see app.css's .sponsor-rail), so moving them after
in source order is purely cosmetic for the DOM -- visually they stay pinned left/right exactly as before. Put here so a linear text reader (an automated site-verification crawler, a screen reader, a search engine) hits the real page content first instead of a wall of repeated "Open slot" ad-placeholder filler before ever reaching a sentence about what Nicheloom is. #}
