Thinking
These are not opinions. They are structures. Where I’m looking from — and why that position matters.
Academic Trajectory
No polished CV. Only the moves that changed the path. How I arrived at the intersection of metrics, strategy, and institutional design.
Research
Rankings, metrics, bibliometrics — these aren’t data. They are architectures of selection. I study how systems of knowledge produce visibility — and why that rarely reflects meaning.
Consulting
I don’t optimize for metrics. I redesign the logic that defines them. I work with those who shape criteria — in science, policy, institutions.
What this site is about
I study how selection systems are constructed. How metrics turn into decisions. How institutions define rules of visibility — and act within them.
My name is Ekaterina Bebenina. I work at the intersection of academia, data, and evaluation architecture. I design approaches that reveal what systems actually capture — and why.
My task is not to explain the system, but to build tools through which it can see itself. To do that, I bring together data, institutional context, and decision-making logic.
This site is about the structures that shape academic and expert environments. About the mechanisms that produce comparability, authority, priority. About how maps are built — and how they enable orientation.
If you work with universities, development programs, or institutional design — this may be a starting point for thinking systemically.

Accreditation is not merely a formality but a vital tool for creating an independent quality assurance system. By analyzing accreditation criteria, I support universities in building effective internal mechanisms for continuous improvement.
