Critical Institutional Analysis & Emergency Dispatch Economics
This fictional governance simulator calculates authored scores, not measured civic outcomes or validated economic theory. Accountability adds point four five times oversight, point four five times transparency and one point five times municipal budget, then subtracts point three five times privatization. It clamps the result between zero and one hundred. At default oversight twelve, transparency ten, budget five and privatization one hundred, the raw value is minus seventeen point six and displayed value zero. Readiness uses a different weighted formula. With capex twenty eight its default value is eighty two point nine. Bars show zero and eighty two point nine at four pixels per score unit, widths zero and three hundred thirty one point six. Their percentage labels are interface conventions, not measured probabilities. Holding all other parameters fixed, raising oversight by ten units adds four point five to raw accountability and point five to raw readiness. But clamping can hide that change. From the default raw minus seventeen point six, the new accountability is minus thirteen point one, still displayed zero. Bars compare raw increments four point five and point five at fifty pixels per added unit, widths two hundred twenty five and twenty five. This distinction separates sensitivity of the underlying linear equation from sensitivity of the displayed clamped output. It does not show that real oversight has the claimed effect. The graph and incident actions use their own state and display paths, which require independent native-function evidence. Risk labels use ordered branches rather than a probabilistic model. Privatization above seventy five and transparency below twenty five gets the first extreme label. Otherwise privatization above fifty gets the high label. Only later can high transparency and oversight produce the low label. At the illustrative privatization eighty, increasing transparency from twenty four to twenty five moves from the first label to the second: the strict less-than threshold no longer matches. Bars use ten pixels per transparency unit, widths two hundred forty and two hundred fifty. Exported metrics come from the visible computed strings, but executive summary is fixed literal text that does not update with scenario changes. That fixed summary is not a reasoned conclusion from every selected setting. Source attribution and political characterizations remain unverified saved copy.
