| Sub-index | Definition | Example (Officer Roy) | |-----------|------------|------------------------| | C1: Confrontation of Power Asymmetry | Direct action against actors with superior resources/authority. | Raiding a politician’s brothel. | | E2: Ethical Risk Endurance | Sustained exposure to retaliation (job loss, violence, defamation). | Continuing investigation after suspension. | | S3: Systemic Disruption Potential | The work creates structural, not just cosmetic, change. | Exposing trafficking network, not just arresting a pimp. | | P4: Protection of the Vulnerable | Primary beneficiary is a marginalized/voiceless group. | Rescuing minors without demanding gratitude. | | N5: Non-Deference to Corrupt Norms | Refusal to comply with bribery, nepotism, or silence codes. | Refusing bribe from senior officer. |

The Index of Mardaani Work offers a novel, ethically grounded alternative to productivity-centric evaluation. By valorizing fearless, protective, and system-defying labor, it can shift organizational cultures toward genuine accountability. Future research should pilot the IMW in NGOs, police reform projects, and journalism collectives, refining its indicators and weighting. Ultimately, the IMW asks a radical question: not just “Did you work efficiently?” but “Did you work with Mardaani?” This paper constructs the Index of Mardaani Work
