The scoreboard.

Updated monthly · next update 31 August 2026

Radical transparency is one of eight moves we committed to before starting. This is that commitment, in the only form it can honestly take before there is anything to report.

Who has actually put their name to this.

Unlike the figures above, these two are not as of a date. They are read straight from the register when the site builds, and the site rebuilds whenever someone confirms or withdraws.

Visitors signed

Open to anyone who has met us; not a credential

Founding entries marked “listed” were published by IIDA from public professional information and are not yet confirmed by the person; visitors are always self-submitted. Anyone can be removed on request. The full list is at the founding register, the visitors' register is at /visitors, and /find searches both.

Discontinued

Kill criteria

Tracks we stopped, and why.

Nothing to report yet — no track has reached its first review. When one is discontinued it will be listed here with the date and the reason, not quietly removed from the research page.

Publishing a killed track is the strongest signal of research discipline we can send, which is exactly why most organisations don’t.
