The Community Conflict Vulnerability Index, within the ICCMS™ methodology
CCVI™
Score a project's community-conflict risk across the dimensions that move schedule and cost, and turn a single rating into a decision your board can act on.
For infrastructure operators, developers, and financiers managing projects alongside host communities.
For an infrastructure project, the relationship with host communities is usually the least measured risk on the register and one of the most expensive when it fails. A stalled pipeline, a blocked road, a halted plant: the cost shows up in schedule and capital long after the warning signs were visible to people on the ground. The CCVI™ exists to make that risk visible early and manageable.
The CCVI™, the Community Conflict Vulnerability Index, is a browser-based instrument that scores a project across seven dimensions and returns a single, board-ready rating, the way the market reads a credit score or a volatility index. It sits inside the ICCMS™ methodology, the Infrastructure-Community Conflict Management System, which carries a project through the full arc of predicting, preventing, managing, and resolving conflict. Both rest on the Social License Architecture™ philosophy: that the consent of host communities is an asset to be earned and governed, not assumed.
Around the score sits the working machinery of the method, delivered as a set of named instruments: a Conflict Landscape Report™ to set the baseline, a Stakeholder Influence Matrix™ to map who can move the project, a Conflict Risk Dashboard™ to watch the rating over time, and the engagement, resolution, and recovery frameworks that turn a reading into action. Together they convert community conflict from an unmeasured, reactively-managed threat into a quantified, monitored, governable operational risk, expressed in the terms a board understands: schedule and cost.
Who it is for
Infrastructure operators, developers, and the financiers who back them, anywhere a project’s success depends on the consent of the communities around it.
What it includes
A seven-dimension vulnerability score
The index scores a project across seven dimensions and produces a single, board-ready rating, with validation governance so the headline number only moves when an assessment is approved.
Conflict Landscape Report™
The baseline read of the conflict terrain around a project, so the risk is understood before work begins, not after it stalls.
Stakeholder Influence Matrix™
A structured map of who can move a project, for or against it, and how that influence is changing over time.
Conflict Risk Dashboard™
The live view of where a project sits on the index and how its rating is trending, in the language a board acts on.
Community Engagement Architecture™
The structured plan for how a project engages the communities around it, turning intent into a repeatable method.
Community Resolution Framework™
The method for working a dispute toward resolution when one arises, rather than improvising under pressure.
Conflict Recovery Protocol™
The steps for restoring a project's relationship with a community after an incident, so a setback does not become a shutdown.
