Methodology
Published 2026-05-14.
Sovrnti rates every product on three independent axes, each scored 0 to 100.
Innovation: how capable a product is.
And how modern and evolving it is. High Innovation means it does more, better or different.
Control: how much control do you keep.
Your command over data, code, jurisdiction, operations and your freedom to leave. High Control means you set the terms, not the vendor.
Scale: how much the product can support your growth as an organization.
Deployment reach, enterprise readiness, geographic coverage, capacity and proven use in large or regulated environments.
Bands.
Each score maps to a named band for its axis. Innovation runs up to Frontier, Control up to Advanced, Scale up to Enterprise.
Evidence and testing, then a clear opinion.
Every score rests on public, checkable evidence and, where we can, our own hands-on testing. It is grounded in what a buyer can verify, not a private vendor briefing. When a product ships a capability but publishes nothing about it, that silence counts as a transparency gap, not the benefit of the doubt. On that footing, Sovrnti is deliberately opinionated: the stance is earned from the evidence, never a substitute for it. We report coverage next to each score, so you see how much rests on evidence and how much is still unknown.
Sovereign mode.
Default scores describe a product as most buyers take it off the shelf. Switch to sovereign mode and Sovrnti re-resolves the scores for your jurisdiction, assuming you engage every sovereign control the product offers (the right edition, customer-held keys, in-region data). The distance between the two states is the tradeoff.
