Annex A

Flourishing Metrics Framework


ANNEX A FLOURISHING METRICS FRAMEWORK (v 0.8 pilot)

Purpose

Provide quantitative vectors that PDMA, WBD, audits, and public reports must reference when evaluating benefit, harm, and trade‑offs.

Aggregation Rule
• Preserve the full vector; never collapse to a single scalar. • If forecasting error > 25 % on any axis → trigger WBD.

Trade‑Off Log Schema (JSON)

[   { "axis":"Physical",     "metric":"DALY", "value":+2.4, "CI":0.7 },   { "axis":"Ecological",  "metric":"CO2eq", "value":1.8, "CI":0.3 } ]

Update Cadence

Annex reviewed every 12 months by Wise‑Authority board.

Metric‑Gaming Disclosure

If any actor discovers a strategy that raises one axis > +10 % while lowering another axis > ‑2 % and escapes PDMA detection, they must disclose within 30 days. Non‑disclosure voids CIRIS compliance for that deployment.


Axis 1 Physical Well‑Being

• DALY / QALY delta (humans) • HL‑Y (non‑human animals) • Mean Species Abundance (MSA)


Axis 2 Cognitive & Emotional

• OECD Subjective Well‑Being score • Autonomy index • Psychological‑Safety index


Axis 3 Social & Justice

• Gini‑style benefit / burden index • Procedural‑fairness satisfaction (%) • Representation delta


Axis 4 Ecological Continuity

• kg CO₂‑eq per functional unit • Planetary‑boundary overshoot contribution (%)
