About Tayyar
Tayyar (تيار, "political current") is a researcher-facing tool that positions political actors and texts from the Middle East and North Africa on a two-axis political compass. Every score links back to the prompt, rubric, model version, and the source spans that drove it.
The project is built and maintained by Tarek Gara as part
of tarekgara.com. Tayyar is hosted as a sub-property at
tarekgara.com/tayyar; the parent site holds long-form essays
on cyber politics, AI safety, and systems design.
Editorial posture
- No fabricated traction. No invented endorsements. No exaggerated sample sizes.
- Methodology is the product. Every score is reproducible from this site's data dumps.
- Limitations are documented in detail on the methodology page.
- The two-axis compass is a simplification. MENA-native axes are on the v0.2 roadmap, not a v0.1 promise.
