Surveillance Infrastructure Graph

Surveillance Infrastructure Graph

SIG is an open, vendor-agnostic, temporally versioned record of public surveillance infrastructure — what is deployed, where and by whom, how it is connected and governed, and exactly which sources support or contradict every material claim. SIG reports; it does not endorse.

What the record covers today

Every figure below names what it is counted against. SIG never publishes a total: no one knows the true number of surveillance devices, agencies, or jurisdictions that exist, so a bare "total" would be a false certainty.

The full, methodology-first breakdown is on the coverage metricspage; per-source recency is on data freshness.

Jurisdiction reach

SIG publishes a dossier per jurisdiction it has researched to a publishable standard. Browse them all in the dossier index, or start with one:

How to read this record

Every material claim carries four independent epistemic fields, a support glyph that says why it is trusted, a persistent marker when a value is contested, and an honest, clickable gap wherever SIG has not (yet) looked.Absence of a row is not evidence of absence — it is a place SIG has not yet researched, and you can turn it into a research task in one click.

The epistemic visual language is the reference for every field, glyph, marker, and gap. Every page also exposes a belief-pinned permalink and a citation you can hand to a council member or cite in a filing: a citation captured today re-resolves to the same belief even after SIG corrects itself.
