attack and expensive to dismantle. See Chapters 15
and 20.
On scope and starting
Why seven programs; isn’t that too ambitious?
The seven illustrate reusability; the state starts with
one. Doing only the first program would pay the full
build cost for a single return, which is the genuinely
wasteful choice. See Chapters 17 and 21.
What exactly are we being asked to approve? A
small, milestone-gated first step: constitute the
institution, build a thin slice, run one cleanliness
corridor, and decide on the published independent
assessment whether to continue. Nothing
irreversible before that gate. See Appendix C and
Chapter 23.
THE SHORTEST POSSIBLE ANSWER TO ALL OF IT
Every cross-cutting objection reduces to one of
three: the money (a rounding error you can
verify), the trust (opt-in, lawful, public, never
punitive), or the institution (build once, own
forever, gated and reversible). Each is answered
in full in the chapters above; this appendix is only
the map to those answers.
