Updated reasoning
- Food
- Food subsidies/support earn partial credit; ordinary food is still generally purchased.
- Healthcare
- Public citizen health care earns high credit; status differences and non-universal residency coverage prevent 4/4.
- Housing / Land
- Strong citizen housing programmes earn substantial credit, but they are not universal for all residents or free land access.
- Transport
- Cheap fuel reduces friction but ordinary passenger movement is not universally free.
- Water / Energy
- Highly subsidized water/energy systems earn strong partial credit, though not universal zero-payment commons.

- Food
- Food subsidies/support earn partial credit; ordinary food is still generally purchased.
- Healthcare
- Public citizen health care earns high credit; status differences and non-universal residency coverage prevent 4/4.
- Housing / Land
- Strong citizen housing programmes earn substantial credit, but they are not universal for all residents or free land access.
- Transport
- Cheap fuel reduces friction but ordinary passenger movement is not universally free.
- Water / Energy
- Highly subsidized water/energy systems earn strong partial credit, though not universal zero-payment commons.

Updated reasoning
- Food
- Food subsidies/support earn partial credit; ordinary food is still generally purchased.
- Healthcare
- Public citizen health care earns high credit; status differences and non-universal residency coverage prevent 4/4.
- Housing / Land
- Strong citizen housing programmes earn substantial credit, but they are not universal for all residents or free land access.
- Transport
- Cheap fuel reduces friction but ordinary passenger movement is not universally free.
- Water / Energy
- Highly subsidized water/energy systems earn strong partial credit, though not universal zero-payment commons.
