Who this is for

Autonomy Index — for fast clarity

  • You want a single, comparable signal of household pressure.
  • You want to see what's driving it (not just a number).
  • You want one-click citations you can paste into coursework, reports, or articles.
Audience: Ordinary households, students, journalists, analysts, and decision-makers.

Official Indexes — verify & learn

  • You've heard a claim and want to verify it against an established index.
  • You want a human-readable explanation of what an index measures (and what it doesn't).
  • You want the original source link, not screenshots or social media summaries.
Audience: Students, researchers, policy teams, and anyone checking facts.

IndexMadeSimple explains and links. It does not replace official publications.
