§ 02 Boilerplate descriptors
Three lengths, written for citation.
The firm provides three boilerplate descriptors — short, standard, extended — for press use. Each has been audited against the firm\'s canonical naming and is the form the firm prefers in published coverage.
Standard (paragraph) — for press releases
Power In Numbers is a research and decision-engineering firm founded by Jay Davis in 2001. The firm operates three engines — AI Mirror for individual decision-makers, VERIDEX BI USA for US-domiciled firms and ventures, and Sovereign Mirror for sovereign and multilateral principals — each calibrated to a distinct principal type and each clearing the firm's 22-gate VERIDEX validation standard. The firm publishes its methodology, validation standard, and curriculum in full at power-in-numbers.net.
Extended (two paragraphs) — for feature pieces
Power In Numbers is a research and decision-engineering firm founded by Jay Davis in 2001. Its operating framework — CROWD POWERED — was named publicly in 2003 and has remained the firm's discipline since. Its 22-gate VERIDEX validation standard is the audit standard every deliverable from any of the firm's three engines is required to clear.
The firm operates AI Mirror (the individual-grade engine), VERIDEX BI USA (the domestic firm-grade engine), and Sovereign Mirror (the sovereign and multilateral engine). The firm has built three of its own ventures under the same standard — iMused (music attribution), Equity Guardians (homeowner advocacy), and the 144K Collective (philanthropic capital aggregation). Its public throughline runs from a 2011 Go Local Magazine profile of Dr. Janelle Thompson to a 2026 AI Mirror Stage-3 reference deliverable presented at the Nexten Summit Accra.
§ 03 Quotation, embargo, and naming
Embargo policy.
The firm honours embargoes set by the convening institution (e.g., a multilateral conference, a ministry of finance, a host summit). Independent embargoes for press queries are accepted on a case-by-case basis and confirmed in writing.
Quotation policy.
Direct quotations from the firm's founder or principals are provided on the record. The firm does not provide off-the-record quotations. Background context — the firm's methodology, structure, and historical record — is on the public site at power-in-numbers.net and can be cited freely.
Methodology references.
Press references to CROWD POWERED, VERIDEX, AI Mirror, VERIDEX BI USA, or Sovereign Mirror should match the firm's public canonical naming. The firm asks that the framework not be paraphrased to "PIN methodology" or similar — the names are part of the audit trail.
Deliverable references.
Where a deliverable is the subject of press coverage, the firm asks that the engine be named (AI Mirror, VERIDEX BI USA, or Sovereign Mirror), the gate count cited (22 canonical, plus engine extensions where applicable), and the convening occasion attributed where relevant.
