Strategic Opportunity Groups

This table groups states without citizen-led policymaking into four categories based on their readiness for initiative expansion work.
*Poised for Progress states are the top-5 overall scorers, with the highest feasibility and variable potential impact. Feasible, but Complicated states have moderate feasibility and potential impact scores, but obstacles in one or more major indicator categories. High Need, High Hurdles denotes a strong rationale for expansion based on democratic deficits, but serious obstacles in feasibility or civic infrastructure. Lower Urgency states combine low-to-moderate feasibility with low potential impact.
