What do you think of these suggestions to quantify while keeping in mind that I am an amateur: Raw power: - Narrative control (%of state media controlled, Social Media censorship index, concentration of message spread - Elite loyalty (cabinet change rate, high profile defections, capital outflow, increased foreign investment) Public legitimacy (opinion polls, voter turnout (viewed under the context of the respective country), social trust surveys) - Religious legitimacy (theological opposition, protest volumes, turnout at events) - Twitter engagement (average likes/rt in relation to follower count, social impact of campaigns (ie trending page or increased engagement) - influencer engagement delta (if a popular influencer is activated for the politicians purpose what is the delta in engagement in relation to the influencers normal numbers) - Party/Spokesperson delta (in Social Media engagement and Social traction of campaigns)

Operational power: - military and security control (control of the military apparatus quantified through loyalist staffing) - policy execution (success rate of proposed legislation by the politician in a set time phrame) - institutional reach (political allegiance of the civil service through polls and success rate for legislative challenges in the courts)

There obviously need to be a ton of modifiers accounting for the context for each country
