The 9 Sovereign Lives Score · Free

How many lives do you have
left?

AI can copy your likeness. Platforms can change the rules overnight. Hearth & Charter measures the nine layers of your sovereign life, from your Hearth to your Charter, and shows you how many are secured.

Your result reads "X of 9 sovereign lives secured", with your next steps for every life still at risk.

The problem

The Intermediary Trap

For decades, individuals have been conditioned to surrender digital and financial property rights to corporate tech monopolies and centralized financial systems.

  • Sweeping agreements force you to trade autonomy for convenience.
  • Many platforms collect your personal data and can monetize your likeness or change how your transactions work.
  • And now AI can analyze, copy and automate almost everything. Without your own layered infrastructure, you depend on platforms that can change the rules, take your data or copy your likeness overnight.

Every tech company has a stack. What's yours?

✕Your identity lives on someone else's platform
✕Your records sit in someone else's cloud
✕Your money moves on someone else's terms
✓Build your own nine layers, from the Hearth up
The solution

The Sovereign Exit

Personal sovereignty is your direct "exit option." It helps you take back more control as the gatekeeper of your digital life, so more of your face, voice, money and data stays in your hands.

Hearth & Charter turns that exit into a plan: measure your nine layers, then secure them one life at a time.

The framework

Nine layers. Nine sovereign lives.

Build from the bottom up. Every layer is one life. Start at the Hearth, finish with your Charter.

What "secured" means

Each layer is scored from your answers. When a layer reaches the secured threshold, that life counts as secured. Your headline result is simple: how many of your nine sovereign lives are secured, and which ones are still at risk.

The score works for individuals and families, with a version for small businesses. Communities and towns come later, through the wider SovereignOS network.

Educational only. Hearth & Charter does not give legal, tax or financial advice. Anything with legal effect stays with licensed attorneys.

Base and capstone

From your Hearth to your Charter

The two layers that give the venture its name hold the whole stack together.

Layer 1 · The base

The Sovereign Hearth

Your identity and individuality, your likeness and your conscience, owned and protected by you. Every other layer rests on it. Secure the Hearth and you've secured the Life of Self.

Layer 9 · The capstone

The Sovereign Charter

A short written charter of the rights, values and commitments you choose to live and work by. It names what each layer below is protecting and how, and when you'll review it. Your results include a charter template pre-filled from your answers. It is a statement of values, not a legal document.

How sovereignty works

Sovereignty scales from the individual outward, never the other way around.

1 · The Sovereign Individual

Individual Autonomy

Imagine holding the keys to your digital life: your data in a vault you control, where applications must ask explicit, granular permission to read specific data points, revocable at any time.

2 · The Sovereign Village

Voluntary Association

Like-minded communities pool autonomy to build self-governed local networks: community trading systems, tool registries or local currencies on local infrastructure (future concepts, explored through SovereignOS), while individuals keep full custody and can exit untouched at any point.
