Five basics stand between this country and zero
This older research pack has not yet received a direct five-part Money Gate audit. Its historical Reach/Friction evidence is compressed to a maximum transitional 4/20 so we do not invent free-access points that were never researched.
9% weightHuman Time & Burden Return
+13.8
Whether productivity, infrastructure and institutions return usable lifetime to people and families.
TBFC target: Necessary contribution should not require people to sell most of their waking life merely to retain access to food, shelter, care and ordinary family life.
Access-gate research question: How much paid work or income-producing activity is required before an ordinary household can keep access to basic life, and what usable family time remains afterward?
Abundance Gap: +20.0
Live-reviewed from the automation country audit. Capacity, reach, friction and return/regeneration are scored separately; national monetary gatekeeping is applied only at the overall-score stage.
Verified evidence
No reliable current national average-hours measure was secured. Agriculture employs about 60% of the labour force and household service burdens remain substantial, so time abundance cannot be inferred from employment or GDP.

8% weightHousing, Shelter & Housing Reach
+13.8
Whether adequate shelter physically exists and actually reaches people without excessive cost, exclusion or vacancy mismatch.
TBFC target: Adequate family shelter should remain reachable without lifetime dependence on rent, mortgage debt or ability to pay.
Access-gate research question: What share of ordinary shelter access depends on rent, mortgage debt, purchase price or other recurring payment, and what dependable non-market routes exist at national scale?
Abundance Gap: +20.0
Live-reviewed from the automation country audit. Capacity, reach, friction and return/regeneration are scored separately; national monetary gatekeeping is applied only at the overall-score stage.
Verified evidence
No sufficiently current national housing-adequacy, overcrowding, tenure and affordability dataset was secured. Rapid urban growth and northern displacement make a national abundance claim unsafe without stronger evidence.

9% weightFood, Nourishment & Free Food Abundance
+5.0
Physical food and nutrient capacity, nourishment reach, waste/loss, public edible landscapes and free food access.
TBFC target: Nutritious food should exist in multiplying abundance and remain reachable even when a household has no money to spend.
Access-gate research question: Can people obtain adequate nutritious food when they cannot pay, and are free/public/productive-food routes large enough to be ordinary rather than exceptional?
Abundance Gap: +20.0
Live-reviewed from the automation country audit. Capacity, reach, friction and return/regeneration are scored separately; national monetary gatekeeping is applied only at the overall-score stage.
Verified evidence
Agriculture employs about 60% of the labour force, yet roughly 350,000 people face severe acute food insecurity. A November 2025 Cadre Harmonisé analysis projected about 332,000 people could reach crisis food insecurity in June-August 2026 absent improvement. Large agribusiness and school-meal programmes are active implementation, not proof of universal food access.

6% weightWater & Sanitation Abundance
+13.8
Safe water, sanitation, reliability, capture, reuse, storage and living-landscape water capacity.
TBFC target: Safe water and sanitation should be dependable life infrastructure, not conditional on household purchasing power.
Access-gate research question: Can households retain safe water and sanitation when income falls, and which payment, disconnection or infrastructure barriers interrupt access?
Abundance Gap: +20.0
Live-reviewed from the automation country audit. Capacity, reach, friction and return/regeneration are scored separately; national monetary gatekeeping is applied only at the overall-score stage.
Verified evidence
Togo has groundwater and surface-water capacity, but household access and quality remain sharply unequal. UNICEF reports only 44% of poor households have basic improved water within 30 minutes versus 97% of rich households, and reports widespread faecal contamination of drinking water. Water policy targets universal affordable access; the target is not counted as achieved.

5% weightEnergy & Household Capability
+19.5
Whether usable, reliable energy reaches households and removes burdens across water, food, health, cooling, cooking and movement.
TBFC target: Essential household energy should support cooking, cooling, water, food preservation and care without money becoming the switch that turns basic capability on or off.
Access-gate research question: Can households retain essential energy for cooking, cooling, water and food preservation when they cannot pay, and how often does price or disconnection reduce capability?
Abundance Gap: +18.0
Live-reviewed from the automation country audit. Capacity, reach, friction and return/regeneration are scored separately; national monetary gatekeeping is applied only at the overall-score stage.
Verified evidence
Reliable electricity for all remains an explicit development objective in the 2025-2029 partnership framework. Major energy financing is active, but a current primary national household-access and outage series was not secured in this pass.

7% weightHealth & Care Reach
+27.5
Whether prevention, primary care, medicine, maternity care, dentistry and specialist capability reach people when needed.
TBFC target: Prevention, maternity, dentistry, medicine and necessary treatment should be reachable because care is needed, not because payment can be produced.
Access-gate research question: Can necessary care be obtained because it is needed, or do price, insurance, employment, debt or other financial tests materially delay or prevent access?
Abundance Gap: +20.0
Live-reviewed from the automation country audit. Capacity, reach, friction and return/regeneration are scored separately; national monetary gatekeeping is applied only at the overall-score stage.
Verified evidence
WHO reports geographical healthcare accessibility reached 90.6% by 2024 while universal health-insurance coverage reached 35%. Malaria prevention expanded, but financing, infrastructure, data quality and household financial protection remain constraints.

6% weightEducation & Human Capability
+19.5
Foundational learning plus practical, technical and enduring civilization capability retained by people.
TBFC target: Foundational learning and useful capability should be reachable as part of civilization life rather than purchased according to family income.
Access-gate research question: Which essential learning and capability routes are genuinely reachable regardless of family income, and where do fees, debt or paid enrichment create decisive access gaps?
Abundance Gap: +18.0
Live-reviewed from the automation country audit. Capacity, reach, friction and return/regeneration are scored separately; national monetary gatekeeping is applied only at the overall-score stage.
Verified evidence
Primary-education access has improved and integrated child-service and school-feeding models are expanding. Rural WASH remains a school constraint: UNICEF reports only about one-third of primary schools have basic water service in its programme evidence.

4% weightMobility & Reachability
+19.5
Local, regional and national movement that connects people to family, services, work, learning and public life without consuming excessive time.
TBFC target: Ordinary local and regional movement should be available for family, care, learning and civic life without travel becoming a paywall.
Access-gate research question: Can ordinary people reach family, care, learning and public life without high recurring fares, vehicle costs, debt or fuel dependence?
Abundance Gap: +18.0
Live-reviewed from the automation country audit. Capacity, reach, friction and return/regeneration are scored separately; national monetary gatekeeping is applied only at the overall-score stage.
Verified evidence
Togo's port and corridor position creates strong regional logistics capacity, but no current national all-season household road-access/reliability measure was secured. Infrastructure investment is active rather than evidence of universal mobility.

8% weightFamily Formation, Continuity & Child Stability
Fertility agenda · target 5.0
Family continuity is measured partly by whether children are actually multiplying. New and re-reviewed profiles use total fertility as 40% of Family Formation: 2.1 births per woman is the replacement floor and earns positive but limited credit; the authored target is 5.0.
Read A Civilization Built for Mothers and Fathers
+19.5
Conditions that let people form stable families, raise children, share parental time and continue family life without punishing material barriers.
TBFC target: People should be able to form, continue and multiply family life. Trott Bailey Family Civilization uses 5.0 children per woman as the fertility target; 2.1 is the replacement floor, not the aspiration, while housing, care, food and time should not be withheld behind financial thresholds.
Access-gate research question: How strongly do housing, childcare, health, food and work-income requirements delay or destabilize family formation and continuity, and is total fertility moving above replacement toward the 5.0-children-per-woman civilization target?
Abundance Gap: +18.0
Live-reviewed from the automation country audit. Capacity, reach, friction and return/regeneration are scored separately; national monetary gatekeeping is applied only at the overall-score stage.
Verified evidence
DagbéKéva coordinates health, nutrition, preschool, protection, civil registration and WASH around children and families in Vo prefecture, while northern humanitarian programmes support displaced and host families. These are subnational/targeted systems, not universal family support.

5% weightLand Access & Spatial Freedom
+27.5
Whether land and settlement choice reach ordinary people rather than opportunity being functionally trapped inside expensive commercial centres.
TBFC target: Suitable productive land and settlement opportunity should not be functionally reserved for those able to outbid everyone else.
Access-gate research question: Can ordinary families gain secure use of suitable productive ground without first accumulating enough money to purchase, finance or outbid others?
Abundance Gap: +20.0
Live-reviewed from the automation country audit. Capacity, reach, friction and return/regeneration are scored separately; national monetary gatekeeping is applied only at the overall-score stage.
Verified evidence
Agricultural programmes are expanding irrigation, mechanization and sustainable land management, but no current nationwide household land-tenure/security dataset was secured. Production-land investment cannot substitute for household spatial freedom.
World Bank — Agribusiness and animal nutrition program
6% weightPeace of Mind, Happiness, Beauty & Delight
+19.5
Peace of mind, social support, everyday safety, public beauty, recreation, nature, culture and delight reachable without constant payment.
TBFC target: Beauty, nature, recreation, rest and public delight should belong to ordinary life rather than appearing mainly after payment.
Access-gate research question: How much everyday rest, nature, recreation, culture and public beauty is freely reachable, rather than principally accessed through paid venues, travel or private property?
Abundance Gap: +18.0
Live-reviewed from the automation country audit. Capacity, reach, friction and return/regeneration are scored separately; national monetary gatekeeping is applied only at the overall-score stage.
Verified evidence
Togo has Atlantic coastline, forests, wetlands and varied landscapes. Northern insecurity linked to Sahel spillover limits safe everyday access in affected areas, so physical beauty is kept separate from lived peace and leisure.

6% weightLiving Ground, Biodiversity & Resilience
+27.5
Whether soil, forests, wetlands, habitat, pollinators, species and water-holding landscapes are strengthening rather than being consumed.
TBFC target: Regenerating soil, water, habitat and food-bearing landscapes should be maintained as shared life-supporting capacity rather than only where a transaction makes them profitable.
Access-gate research question: Are regenerative land, water and habitat functions maintained as life-supporting infrastructure even when no direct commercial return is available?
Abundance Gap: +20.0
Live-reviewed from the automation country audit. Capacity, reach, friction and return/regeneration are scored separately; national monetary gatekeeping is applied only at the overall-score stage.
Verified evidence
Climate law, biodiversity finance and sustainable land-management programmes are real policy/implementation steps. Drought, recurrent floods, coastal erosion, heat and land degradation remain material threats to children, food, water and settlements.

5% weightJustice, Safety & Institutional Friction
+13.8
Physical safety, usable justice, legal identity, reliable public administration and low needless institutional burden.
TBFC target: Usable justice, legal identity, safety and ordinary administration should remain accessible regardless of wealth.
Access-gate research question: Do fees, legal costs, bail, fines, documentation costs or ability to hire expertise materially change access to justice, safety or public administration?
Abundance Gap: +20.0
Live-reviewed from the automation country audit. Capacity, reach, friction and return/regeneration are scored separately; national monetary gatekeeping is applied only at the overall-score stage.
Verified evidence
Community cohesion and resilience work is active, especially in Savanes, but spillover insecurity and displacement remain material. A sufficiently current comprehensive official national crime dataset was not secured.

4% weightDurability, Repair & Material Return
+5.0
Whether useful materials, infrastructure and goods are maintained, repairable, recovered and cycled instead of repeatedly becoming waste.
TBFC target: Repair, maintenance and useful material circulation should protect capability instead of forcing repeated repurchase as the default route to continued use.
Access-gate research question: Do repair and maintenance remain practically accessible, or do pricing, proprietary restrictions and replacement incentives turn continued use into repeated purchasing?
Abundance Gap: +20.0
Live-reviewed from the automation country audit. Capacity, reach, friction and return/regeneration are scored separately; national monetary gatekeeping is applied only at the overall-score stage.
Verified evidence
No reliable current national waste-generation, collection and material-recovery dataset was secured. Sanitation programmes and environmental policy exist, but evidence of a nationwide circular material-return system was not found.

The end state: life beyond monetary gatekeeping
Trott Bailey Family Civilization treats money as an exchange tool rather than a prerequisite for access to life. The long-run abundance target is that food, water, shelter, care, education, mobility, land access and ordinary public life remain reachable even when a person cannot pay.
This target is an authored civilization standard. The diagnostic evidence score can now draw from all 16 weighted categories. The five-part Money Gate remains a separate domestic threshold asking whether food, housing/land, healthcare, transportation and water/energy are genuinely reachable without payment before any civilization can cross zero.
