THE HODAI PROJECT

HODAI is a global project consisting of 4 interrelated modules (subprojects) that will contribute to the creation of a “Hub Of Data And Initiatives” (HODAI)​. They are based on the two pillars of Continuous Improvement and Continuous Communication.
​
  1. CONSOLIDATING INFORMATION
  2. FINDING PRIORITIES
  3. MAPPING AND WEIGHING EFFORTS
  4. FORECASTING RESOLUTION
At HODAI foundation we do whatever we can to try to accelerate the resolution of crucial problems. It is OUR AIM.

​Our strategy is to improve and consolidate what has already been done, changing it if needed, and making it FREELY AVAILABLE for further improvement.

1. consolidating information: A FIRST STEP TOWARDS OUR AIM

Through module 1 HODAI answers the question:

- What seems important to humanity?

We generate a list of important and complex problems emerging from the existing work of NGOs and global public institutions (such as the United Nations and the World Economic Forum), but also from governmental data and the world of information. Since 2016, we publish probably the most reliable and up-to-date list of what humanity considers the most important and complex problems, issues, challenges, and risks today​.

Why we do it? Because we could not find it and we thought it was essential.
THE CRUCIAL LIST
The crucial list is our first step towards a consolidated Hub Of Data And Initiatives (H.O.D.A.I.), available as a common good, under Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License​.

2. finding priorities: COMPARING THE UNCOMPARABLE

Through module 2 HODAI aims to answer the question:

- What are the most crucial problems?

Each problem is classified according to a set of defined parameters. The list is ordered according to the impact of each problem. This is determined by the combination of the parameters and the reciprocal impact on all the other problems.

Our ambition is to make the most reliable and transparent way of calculating the impact of each problem. To do so we use an algorithm that we update continuously. It is publicly available under GNU LGPLv3, we hope you can contribute to its improvement. 
THE HODAI IMPACT INDEX
Thanks to this work we can explore findings such as the top 100 problems, the exponential problems, the short term risks for humans, the interaction between each problem,  the relative impact of each problem, and much more.
We are aware that this work and its result will never be perfect, and it might feel like comparing apples to oranges.

We are convinced however that it is better to have something perfectible rather than not to, if it can be useful as we are convinced it is.
