EON has been producing this study biennially for the past decade.
The PTI is EON’s landmark project that capitalizes on data-centric intelligence and insights. For 2021, it used data gathered from a face-to-face nationwide study conducted from August to September 2021 among 800 respondents from different socio-economic and demographic backgrounds. It compared the findings with the Groundswell Report from EON’s Strategic Planning and Analytics unit, which used keywords to scan and gather online public conversations held between August 2020 and August 2021 and manually tagged them for expressing either trust, distrust, or a neutral sentiment in social institutions.
