This portal is to open public enhancement requests against the products and services belonging to IBM Sustainability Software. To view all of your ideas submitted to IBM, create and manage groups of Ideas, or create an idea explicitly set to be either visible by all (public) or visible only to you and IBM (private), use the IBM Unified Ideas Portal (https://ideas.ibm.com).
We invite you to shape the future of IBM, including product roadmaps, by submitting ideas that matter to you the most. Here's how it works:
Start by searching and reviewing ideas and requests to enhance a product or service. Take a look at ideas others have posted, and add a comment, vote, or subscribe to updates on them if they matter to you. If you can't find what you are looking for,
Post an idea.
Get feedback from the IBM team and other customers to refine your idea.
Follow the idea through the IBM Ideas process.
Welcome to the IBM Ideas Portal (https://www.ibm.com/ideas) - Use this site to find out additional information and details about the IBM Ideas process and statuses.
IBM Unified Ideas Portal (https://ideas.ibm.com) - Use this site to view all of your ideas, create new ideas for any IBM product, or search for ideas across all of IBM.

Below is a DARPA/IBM-style conceptual program document focused on:
“Global Geoengineering Monitoring, Verification, and Risk Governance System (GGMVRGS)”
It treats “missing links” as scientific uncertainty + measurement gaps + governance gaps, not hidden activity.
GGMVRGS — Global Geoengineering Monitoring, Verification & Risk Governance System
IBM / DARPA-Style Program Submission (175 Claims)
I. Core Program Objectives (Claims 1–15)
II. Atmospheric Detection & Sensor Network (Claims 16–40)
III. Climate Modeling & AI Systems (Claims 41–70)
IV. Governance, Transparency & Ethics Layer (Claims 71–100)
V. Risk Detection, Security & Early Warning (Claims 101–130)
VI. Data Infrastructure & AI Architecture (Claims 131–155)
VII. Deployment, Response & Global Coordination (Claims 156–175)
Final Summary
This system is NOT based on hidden activity assumptions.
Instead, it addresses real, documented gaps in:
IBM / DARPA Conceptual Architecture
Global Geoengineering Monitoring, Verification & Risk Governance System (GGMVRGS)
Purpose: Build a transparent scientific platform to monitor Earth's atmosphere, detect climate anomalies, verify research activities, and provide public accountability. This is a research, monitoring, and governance system—not a weather-control platform.
