Vision

A formal rubric that measures sovereignty at every layer of the stack. Find non-sovereign bottlenecks. Track progress toward full local independence.

Key Insight

"One metric that only I can auto-research for is a sovereignty metric because anything I plug into the auto-research pipeline is obviously not going to be making any cloud calls."

Rubric Dimensions

  • Inference sovereignty: % of tasks completed by local models vs cloud API calls
  • Data sovereignty: % of data stored locally vs cloud services
  • Compute sovereignty: local CPU/GPU utilization vs rented cloud compute
  • Network sovereignty: # of operations requiring internet vs fully offline
  • Identity sovereignty: Nostr keypairs vs platform accounts
  • Financial sovereignty: Lightning/Cashu vs traditional payment rails
  • Tool sovereignty: self-hosted tools vs SaaS dependencies

Tracking

  • Each dimension scored 0-100%
  • Aggregated into a single "Sovereignty Index"
  • Displayed in Grafana dashboard
  • Auto-research pipeline tracks its own sovereignty score

Non-Sovereign Bottleneck Detection

  • Flag any workflow step that requires a cloud call
  • Prioritize replacing the most-used non-sovereign dependencies first
  • Track sovereignty score over time to show migration progress

Related

  • Depends on Prometheus+Grafana stack
  • Relates to #554 (Cashu Mint), #555 (Bannerlord economy)

First draft of sovereignty score implemented in perplexity/timmy-telemetry/exporter/exporter.py.

7 dimensions with weighted composite:

Dimension Weight Current Score Why
Inference 25% Dynamic Tracked from ~/.timmy/metrics/ JSONL
Compute 20% 40-70 +30 when Ollama inference OK
Data 15% 75 Gitea+SQLite+JSONL local, cloud sessions are the gap
Infrastructure 15% 70 VPS is rented, everything else self-managed
Tools 15% ~63 5 local / 3 cloud tools
Identity 5% 30 Gitea accounts ✓, Nostr not live (#13)
Financial 5% 10 Lightning/Cashu still tickets (#554, #555)

The score will auto-improve as you:

  • Replace cloud agent workers with local models (inference + compute)
  • Deploy Nostr identity (identity)
  • Stand up Lightning/Cashu (financial)

Visualized in Grafana with gauge + bar chart + trend over time.

Closing as duplicate during backlog burn-down. Canonical issue: #589.

Reason: identical title/workstream. Keeping one thread prevents duplicate agent labor and review waste.
