Artificial intelligence changes how decisions are made. Intelligence Sovereignty determines whether institutions remain free to govern those decisions.
The framework examines authority, visibility, continuity, substitutability and resilience—not merely model capability or ethical intent.
Its practical tools include the Intelligence Sovereignty Test, a maturity model and an intelligence portfolio approach: rent, refine and own.
Capability is not enough. It must be governable.
What this means in practice
The practical question is not whether an institution should use powerful technology. It is whether the operating model, authority, evidence and resilience around that technology are proportionate to the decisions that depend upon it.
