Launching 2026 — Production-stage indices. Briefings available on request.
Index families · 2026 edition

Six indices. One engine.

Podhium produces six production-stage indices built on the same methodology and scoring discipline. The subject changes from one index to the next; the method does not. Every score is traceable to the document, the meter or the disclosure it came from.

Family 1
Nigeria Market Index Family

Six indices covering listed equities, macroeconomic performance, corporate leadership, AI reputation, thought leadership and higher education. Designed for the Nigerian capital market and institutional investors, advisors and executives who operate within it.

Corporate Outlook & Resilience
CORE · Stock Market
CO
“How does a company rank against its peers on the non-financial metrics that drive risk-adjusted return on the NGX?”
CORE scores NGX-listed companies on governance, balance-sheet resilience, franchise strength and stewardship quality. Same bands, same confidence grades, same right of reply as every Podhium instrument. The bridge between the Nigeria market and the broader assessment architecture.

Real Sector Index
RSX · The Economy
RS
“Is the compensation for Nigerian real-sector risk adequate today, and which way is the clock turning?”
RSX reads the Nigerian macro economy in near real-time. Every nowcast is graded against the official print when it lands — misses included. RSX is the founding discipline: a firm that will not grade itself has no business grading anyone else.

Corporate Leadership
AI
“How much durable, attributable premium does a company’s CEO and board each add over a realistic replacement?”
CEO Alpha and Board Alpha scored separately on a common framework: capital allocation, governance conduct, communication discipline and stakeholder management. Both tested against the stress scenarios that matter for Nigerian-market decisions.

Predictive Reputation Intelligence
PRISM · AI Reputation
PR
“What do AI models surface or bury about a company — and what does that mean for its cost of trust?”
PRISM measures what large language models retrieve, construct and propagate about each assessed entity. Adverse framing that is retrieval-driven is treated differently from embedded brand risk. Produces a score and security classification (A–C) for every covered company.

GREY Capital
Thought Leadership Index
GC
“Which leaders hold the deepest, most original and most widely propagated body of thought — the kind that moves capital?”
GREY: Growth, Reputation, Expertise, Yield. Scores 500 ranked Nigerian executives on depth, originality, propagation and economic consequence of published thought. Not follower counts — intellectual influence and the track record of ideas that moved to policy or capital.

Ivory League
Nigerian Private Universities
IL
“Which private universities have the structural integrity to deliver a safe, stable and employable outcome, where global rankings miss local realities?”
Ranks 50 leading Nigerian private universities on an Africanised 11-pillar framework: academic quality, safety, infrastructure, graduate employability, cost-outcome ratio and institutional governance. Ivory Score 0–10. Covenant University leads 2026 at 8.92.

Methodology

One engine beneath all of them.

Every Podhium index is built on the same scoring discipline. The same bands, the same confidence grades, the same right of reply. A score of 74 in the GREY Capital index means the same thing as a score of 74 in CORE. Methodology documents are available to institutional subscribers and rated entities on request.
