Traditional financial metrics like GDP fail to capture this fundamental goal. - in micro society the currency is contributor time and the metric of economic success is reduction of the collective societal obligations in time per contributor. In our current system the currency is money and the metric of economic success is profitability ### Core Economic Flows #### Internal Labor 500 people x 20 hours/week ->(500,000 hours/year) Internal labor force fulfills community voted guarantees by working tasks within the systems that produce the guarantee. *system: a collection of resources and tasks that produces specific outputs to guarantee a community need. e.g. bakery, food production, water, electricity generation, maintenance, meal prep...* ##### Examples | System Name | Primary Output Guarantee | Motto | | -------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------ | | Climate System | Maintain 68-76°F and 30-60% humidity in all occupied spaces | "Perfect comfort, every space" | | Water Heating System | 50 gallons potable water/person/day at 110 degrees | "hot, and ready to flow" | | Sanitation System | hygienic odor-free spaces, bio gas | "Clean spaces, healthy places" | ##### Efficiency Through Excellence internal labor expected to produce $50/hour value creation. That is $50 of internal production for export or the equivalent hour of labor would cost $50 in the market. This shared expectation of value creation drives innovation and improvement. Members aspire to and help others achieve excellence in their contributions, reducing labor burden for the whole community. ##### Quarterly Interest-Based Labor Allocation Three-round process aligning internal laborers with their preferred work, creating stable 3-month work teams 1. Members submit system preferences in 5 hour chunks towards specific system(s) - Community identifies gaps in essential coverage form pure member preferences - Reveals collective passions and potential for community export ventures 2. Members voluntarily reallocate time to fill gaps 3. System assigns labor hours if necessary to meet essential coverage ##### Daily Task System Matches qualified members to specific tasks within their allocated systems. Standardizes quality through SOPs while encouraging innovation to reduce collective burden. ### External Income ($10M/year) - The external laborers are expected to earn $100k on average and each individual will contribute the wages from half of their labor (20 hrs) to the community `150 people x 50k = $7.5 million` - community identifies profitable ventures based on surplus passion and market needs `$1.5 million` - [[elderly care - village living|elderly care]] volunteer + `100 x 30k = $3 million` ## Success Metrics ### Human Flourishing - Preference alignment: % of members working in preferred systems - total experts per system -> community resiliency + teaching - [[skill - village living|skill]] advancement per system per year ### Collective Efficiency - Weekly time commitment required per system - community burden reduction by system
