How the city of Munich measures digital sovereignty
summary
Munich creates a practical, reproducible metric that scores software sovereignty with seven yes/no questions derived from digitalsovereignty.net and Fraunhofer 2020, runs automatic scoring in the city CMS, and applies it to 194 business-critical services. Scores step by 20% and yield 66% highly or largely sovereign while 21% hit the lowest class. Results go into annual reports, a responsibility holder, Creative Commons tooling, and a version 1.0 remediation roadmap for targeted risk reduction.
