Automation Resilience and Community Benefit Framework: Methodology, Modeling, and Drafting Record

The methodology, modeling, adversarial testing, and drafting record behind the Automation Resilience and Community Benefit Framework. The model instruments themselves are deposited separately under CC0 and linked under Related works. Includes: the findings of a thirty-year scenario model tested against eleven adverse events (the workbook is held for independent review); the drafting rationale and errata record; adversarial review; a valuation methodology for benefit foregone; and a precedent analysis drawn from PEG cable franchising. Two findings are stated openly because they cut against the framework. First, the fiscal provisions are durable and the community-benefit provisions are not: six of eleven adverse events impose little or no revenue cost on the county while impairing the compute allocation by between one quarter and two thirds, so the county has limited fiscal incentive to enforce the community-benefit article. Second, the trust's monetizable base is small by construction, being half of one percent of installed capacity less the share committed to member institutions, and the operating cost model is populated entirely with placeholders. Whether a trust can fund itself from monetized idle allocation is open, and the answer is more likely no than yes. That finding will be published when cost inputs are sourced, in whichever direction it resolves. Status and limitations. Citizen-prepared work product, not legal advice.
