00 / About the Lab
Decoding alignment,
power and policy.
3DL is a non-partisan research lab at the intersection of data science, AI, geopolitics, and public policy. We build datasets, analytical tools, and research products that help NGOs, institutions, and the public understand global political alignment, governance, and emerging policy challenges.

Democratize evidence-based decision making.
We transform complex public data into clear, non-partisan insights that civil society can act on. Advanced analytical tooling shouldn't be the privilege of well-funded private firms and elite institutions; we make it freely available to NGOs, researchers, policymakers, and decision makers.
Evidence powers
progress.
A world where unbiased data insights are at everyone's fingertips, driving transparency, civic engagement, and real-time accountability across global governance.
Every chart ships with the dataset that produced it. Every methodology is public. The raw data is always one click from the reader.
Analytics shouldn't be a luxury.
The strongest analytical infrastructure is concentrated inside well-funded private firms, governments, and elite institutions. That leaves NGOs, researchers, and public-interest actors responding to global events without the same visibility. 3DL exists to close that imbalance.
A small team,
by design.
Seven researchers across data science, geopolitics, economics, and strategy. We combine the speed of a startup with the rigor of an academic lab: methodology notes alongside every dataset, versioned releases, raw data one click from every chart.
What we're working on.
Ongoing initiatives across global governance, political discourse, and economic policy. Each ships with the dataset and methodology that produced it.
Annual analysis of voting patterns at the UN General Assembly, revealing alignment, drift, and geopolitical dynamics across member states.
