Status of these claims#

What this publication does not claim, and what is outstanding against it in the register.

Asserted, not yet measured: The cost of secession capability, this publication.

A question this rests on is parked: What secession premium will members bear?

We publish no pricing and no affordability claim, and we do not assert that members value the secession guarantee.

What this publication rests on, and how solid each part of it is. What it costs is a framework, and this page describes it as one.

What it does not have#

No external citations. This publication cites no studies, no reports and no outside sources, and this page does not manufacture any. Its claims either derive from the constitution this project is built on, or from evidence recorded inside the corpus, or they are the reasoning of the document itself. Each is separated below.

What it derives from#

Foundational documents. These are positions this project has taken, not findings.

Record What it is Status
CON-16 B-class shares are pegged to capability, not dollars draft v0.1
BUS-09 The cost of secession capability draft v0.1

Evidence#

🔴 This publication is tagged requires-evidence in the corpus and references none. The tag is the project’s own record that this document is the kind that needs measurement behind it. That measurement is not yet recorded here, and this page says so rather than leaving the tag to be found by someone reading the frontmatter.

None. This publication references no evidence record. That is the correct description of what it is rather than a gap: it is a framework, reasoning from the foundational documents above rather than reporting a measurement. Where it states a number, that number is marked in the text as what it is.
