Blomstra Corporate Influence Index

Methodology & Data Sources

**Important Note:** This is a prototype for the “Blomstra Corporate Influence Index.” The data presented here for countries is **illustrative and synthetic, not based on real-world research or live data feeds.** It is designed solely to demonstrate the functionality and potential visualization of such a tool.

In a full implementation, this index would aggregate data from reputable sources, and we would be transparent about the limitations inherent in global data collection for these metrics (e.g., self-reported data, varying reporting standards, difficulty in quantifying informal influence). This tool aims to provide the most complete picture available to the public in one place, fostering critical thinking about corporate power globally.
