Prime Directive Analytics is a U.S.-based data and research firm specializing in the measurement of Corporate Political Responsibility, broken down into corporate political influence and political alignment. Their proprietary analytics quantify not only the scale of corporate political influence, but also the character of that influence across environmental, social, and democratic dimensions.
AYK provides access to Prime Directive Analytics' Corporate Political Responsibility dataset as part of its curated sustainability and governance data offering.
About the dataset
The Corporate Political Responsibility dataset enables users to assess:
How much political influence a company exerts, quantified on a standardized 0–100 scale.
Where that influence is directed — which issues, sectors, and political entities.
How political behavior aligns with sustainability, community outcomes, and democratic institutions.
This dataset is designed for institutional-grade analysis, supporting investment research, risk assessment, stewardship, and policy-focused use cases.
Dataset details
CVI measures the magnitude of corporate political influence on a standardized 0–100 scale. The score reflects observed political activity across configurable scopes, enabling consistent comparison across companies, sectors, and industries.
PCD evaluates the alignment of corporate political influence across three core dimensions:
These are combined into a composite PCD score, weighted by the organization's political activity profile. PCD helps identify potential misalignment between corporate commitments and political behavior.
To ensure contextual analysis, scores are normalized against different peer groups:
This allows users to evaluate political influence in context, rather than in absolute terms alone.
The dataset supports multiple configurations to reflect different definitions of political influence, including:
This flexibility allows users to analyze either a full political footprint or a company-official influence view, depending on analytical needs.
The data is delivered in a structured format designed for scalable integration and analysis.
