Country — national sensors and sustainability thresholds
This layer provides a country-wide overview: live signals, national reference data and the 31-indicator dashboard proposed by the United Nations High-Level Expert Group on Beyond GDP, with fictional values, simulated trends and illustrative reference points.
It provides a macro-observation layer before government steering and parliamentary deliberation.
What the Country view makes visible
time, weather, air quality, exchange rate
population, area, capital, currency
31 indicators, four dimensions, traceable sources
macro input for government and parliament
Explicit lineage — UN Beyond GDP → LUMEN → public governance
This demonstrator does not introduce a competing CCOP indicator set. It starts with the 31 indicators proposed in Counting What Counts by the United Nations High-Level Expert Group on Beyond GDP. LUMEN adds the complementary governance infrastructure required to connect those measures to modelling, legal and budgetary analysis, democratic decisions, implementation and feedback.
Thirty-one proposed indicators organised into four official dimensions. Fifteen are inherited from the SDG indicator framework and sixteen are additional Beyond GDP indicators.
Each indicator remains traceable. LUMEN routes the evidence to OBI and NLPI, while CEDI adds policy-specific lived experience and a sensitive feedback signal.
The evidence enters modelling, coordination, budget choices, legal scrutiny and democratic decision-making; implementation results then return to the next observation cycle.
Country reference data
Macro signals to monitor
Overall logic
The country layer informs observation. Government organises responses. Parliament scrutinises, debates and makes decisions visible.
UN Beyond GDP dashboard — 31 proposed indicators
Starting point: the complete indicator set below comes from the May 2026 proposal of the UN Secretary-General's High-Level Expert Group on Beyond GDP. LUMEN's added value: preserve the indicators and their sources while routing them into a reflexive governance cycle — Observe → Model → Decide → Act — capable of informing government coordination, budgets, law, parliamentary scrutiny, implementation and correction.

Government — cross-ministerial steering
This view shows flows between strategic domains and ministries, making visible the coordination required for a cross-cutting policy.
Fictional case: energy renovation of public school buildings.
What the Government view makes visible
transition, education, finance, cohesion, digital, health
lead ministries, Prime Minister, operators and support bodies
data, budgets, trade-offs, delivery, scrutiny
Flows between strategic domains and ministries
Ecological transition
Select a strategic domain or ministry to see its role in cross-ministerial steering.
Parliament — making visible what is promised, voted, funded, delivered and corrected.
This view illustrates how the package connects an electoral commitment, a draft law, budgetary resources, indicators, risks of ineffectiveness, parliamentary debates and public monitoring.
What the prototype makes visible
Structured objectives and promises
Costs, risks, indicators, resources
Article, amendment, effects before / after
Monitoring, gaps and corrections
Interactive map of the parliamentary chain
Electoral programme
Select a node to see its role in the steering chain.
Complete democratic chain
The same public objective is followed from the initial promise through to adjustments. Each step produces data that can be reused by the next.
Sequence
Electoral programme → public commitment → draft law → impact assessment → parliamentary debate → vote → implementation → public dashboard → evaluation → adjustment.
Normative-effectiveness matrix
The matrix connects each measure to its objectives, resources, risks, costs, indicators and responsible actors.
Interpretation
Fictional values: demonstration tool.
| Provision | Principle / purpose | Objective | Budget | Indicator | Risk | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Art. 1 — Low-energy schools fund | Territorial equality, health, transition | Renovation of 12,000 buildings | 1.5 bn EUR | kWh/m²/year, CO₂ avoided | Insufficient local engineering capacity | to be mitigated |
| Art. 2 — One-stop service | Simplification, access to rights | Reduce application-processing times | 120 m EUR | Average processing time | Weak IT interoperability | robust |
| Art. 3 — Technical assistance | Effectiveness | Train 8,000 civil servants and elected officials | 85 m EUR | Rate of complete applications | Insufficient capacity | caution |
Budget & net public value
Fictional view distinguishing gross expenditure, avoided costs, hidden costs and net public value.
Finance Committee
Show the cost of inaction, poor coordination and absent monitoring.
Fictional value opportunities
Interpretation
Augmented parliamentary debate
Projecting data during debate: article, amendment, costs, effects and risks.
Session mode
Immediately compare the effects of an amendment on the indicators being monitored.
Article 5 — Priority for vulnerable territories
Citizen view
A simple view: promise, decision, budget, progress, gaps and corrections.
Principle
Make public action trackable without jargon.
Progress status
Public timeline
Integrated public-steering system
An interoperable layer connecting country, government and parliament.
Principle
Do not replace existing systems: connect them and make them intelligible and auditable.
