Step 2 · Focus-area modules
Add a focused overlay to the Foundation
Use Security and Technology to see where your Foundation result holds, hardens, or starts to split in concrete cases.
Available modules
Choose the focus area you want to pressure-test first
Each module keeps your Foundation in view while the cases become more specific and politically exposed.
Security
Security, Strategy, and Statecraft
A focused read on deterrence, alliances, escalation, and the legitimacy of force
Most cases start from familiar security debates about deterrence, alliances, escalation, and legitimacy. A smaller set of pressure tests shifts to exposed partners, rival powers, and nonaligned states when the vantage point changes the strategic read.
Use this when you want a more concrete read than the Foundation alone can give.
Technology
Technology, AI, and Geoeconomics
A focused read on chokepoints, industrial policy, AI governance, and strategic dependence
Most cases start from familiar debates about chokepoints, industrial policy, AI governance, and strategic dependence. A smaller set of pressure tests shifts to sanctioned, middle-power, and nonaligned perspectives when the vantage point changes the policy read.
Use this when you want a more concrete read than the Foundation alone can give.
Planned next
Future modules stay visible, but they are not live in this round
The next additions are grouped by function and region. They are roadmap entries, not live routes.
Functional track
Add more issue areas before broadening into regions
Functional modules extend the same Foundation-to-module structure without changing the frame of the project.
International Economics and Finance
PlannedA geoeconomic overlay on trade, finance, sanctions, industrial policy, and economic statecraft.
Governance, Politics, and Society
PlannedA domestic-order overlay on institutions, legitimacy, polarization, and state capacity under stress.
Development, Climate, and Sustainability
PlannedA cross-border overlay on growth, resilience, climate pressure, and competing development priorities.
Regional track
Regional lenses come after the underlying language is clearer
Regional modules introduce harder interpretation questions. They stay planned until the core product language is clearer.
China
PlannedA regional lens on how your baseline travels when Chinese strategy, institutions, and historical memory move to the center.
Middle East
PlannedA regional lens on order, rivalry, deterrence, and state survival across a dense security environment.
Africa
PlannedA regional lens on development, sovereignty, external influence, and uneven institutional capacity.
Europe and Eurasia
PlannedA regional lens on alliance politics, continental security, border revision, and institutional constraint.
Asia
PlannedA regional lens on maritime order, balancing behavior, development strategy, and strategic interdependence.
Americas
PlannedA regional lens on hemispheric order, democratic stress, migration, and economic integration.
United States
PlannedA domestic-regional lens on how baseline assumptions hold up inside U.S. strategic debate and statecraft.
Best next additions after this round: International Economics and Finance on the functional side, then China as the first regional flagship.
Same product family
The AI companion and browse surfaces stay adjacent to the IR overlays
The AI Governance Compass runs alongside the IR Foundation and issue overlays. The field guide and Profile keep the whole product legible rather than scattering the pieces across separate experiences.
