Intellicity Scoring Methodology
Understanding strategic city analysis
Scoring Philosophy
Intellicity scores represent strategic influence and significance, not moral value or travel appeal.
Each domain answers: "How strategically significant is this city within its regional or global context?"
Scores are assessed on a 1–100 scale, where higher values indicate greater strategic relevance within the specific domain.
Domain Scoring Rules (1–100 Scale)
Geographic (G)
Based on chokepoints, terrain, climate risk, trade access
Demographic (D)
Population size, growth, cohesion
Economic (E)
GDP contribution, trade, industry
Military / Security (M)
Bases, command centers, instability
Political (P)
Governance, diplomacy, stability
Spiritual / Religious (S)
Religious influence and access
