The Aga Khan Development Network's own page on the Ismaili Imamat, the Ismaili Muslim community's institutional governing authority, stating that the community numbers approximately 12 to 15 million people living in more than 70 countries. No independent national census or survey counts Ismailis specifically as a distinct group; this institutional figure is the community's own count.

Assessment
Reliability Tier1
The Ismaili Imamat's own institutional website, published by the Aga Khan Development Network: the highest tier available for the community's own self reported size, though not an independent check on it, since no outside census or survey breaks out Ismailis specifically from the wider Shia Muslim population.
