TBF Abundance Score
-73.1
Evidence before Abundance Gate -2.1
How the headline score is calculated

Evidence before Gate = Σ (published category score × category weight × research coverage) ÷ Σ (category weight × research coverage). The five-part Money Gate sets a proportional ceiling, with Friction already in the category evidence score.

Current evidence: -2.1 · Money Gate: 2.00/20 · Cash-register lock: +90.0 · Graded pressure: +90.0 · Headline: -73.1.

The fully detailed gate formula is explained in the Money Gate method; no international score can independently clear it.

Sum of each published category weight × its documented scoring coverage ÷ 100. The percentage measures completed scoring slots, not independent verification of every claim. For the current country:

Five basics stand between this country and zero

All five basics must reach 4/4 before a country can cross zero. Open any gate reading to see exactly why its points were assigned and review the source record.

0.5 / 4

Food

Why 0.5 / 4?

School meals and relief support children and displaced people, but conflict disrupts supply and universal household food access.

Point calculation

0.50 ÷ 4 × 100 = 12.50% of this Money Gate rail. Five rails together can earn 20/20.

Points are assigned from the verified no-payment access rubric and actual national reach, not from the percentage alone.

0.0 / 4

Housing / Land

Why 0.0 / 4?

Mass displacement and housing destruction mean no dependable universal free family housing baseline.

Healthcare

Why 1.5 / 4?

Free care for pregnant women and children under five is established in law and reviewed by parliament in 2025, but not universal to all people.

Point calculation

1.50 ÷ 4 × 100 = 37.50% of this Money Gate rail. Five rails together can earn 20/20.

  • Housing / Land0.0 / 4
  • Healthcare1.5 / 4

  • Water / Energy0.0 / 4
  • Money still needed18.0 / 20

Grey means points not yet earned toward fully money-free basic life—not a cash price or currency sum.

Why 2.0 / 20?

The Money Gate total is the sum of the five direct 0–4 readings. Every basic need remains visible separately so one strong area cannot hide another weak one.

Actual calculation

Food 0.50 + Housing / Land 0.00 + Healthcare 1.50 + Transportation 0.00 + Water / Energy 0.00 = 2.00 / 20

A country remains money-gated until the total reaches 20 / 20.

Cash-Register Lock
90.0 / 100
Why 90.0 / 100?

The five direct Money Gate readings total 0–20. Every point removes five of the 100 payment-lock units; a 7/20 reading produces a 65/100 lock.

Actual calculation

100 - (2.00 × 5) = 90.00

Friction Economy Pressure
91.4 / 100
Why 91.4 / 100?

Friction is visible as its own 0–100 contextual reading from domestic category rails. Its effect is already in the evidence score and is not applied to the ceiling again.

Actual calculation

(100 - -82.84) ÷ 2 = 91.42 / 100

The weighted Friction rail comes from the published domestic category rails.

Money-gated ceiling
-45.0
Why -45.0?

Each Money Gate point raises the negative ceiling by 2.5 points: 0/20 → −50, 7/20 → −32.5, 10/20 → −25, 19.5/20 → −1.25. At 20/20 the gate is removed, so the evidence score becomes the headline directly.

Actual calculation

90.00 = 90.00 (Friction already counted in category scores)

-50 + 2.5 × 2.00 = -45.0

Burkina Faso: food nourishment free food — rail 4 review

Time, reliability, resilience and practical family benefit. Prior researched country observation: Burkina Faso faces severe conflict, displacement, food insecurity and interruptions to schooling, health, WASH and mobility. Agricultural and solar potential remain real, but safety and access constraints dominate current reach. The food audit distinguishes physical production from nourishment reach. The cited food-security source shows that market access, shocks, nutrition or import exposure still matter, so domestic capacity is not treated as universal food abundance. Point values are TBF authored judgements; cited source supplies context and cannot alone verify full reach or the exact score.

Family Formation — two-part calculation and marriage-law criterion

First half — the established family and fertility assessment

The original family score remains available. It combines 60% conditions for family life with 40% observed total fertility performance. Its source research is preserved.

Pre-policy score: -10.5

Second half — binary marriage-law policy criterion

This is a Trott Bailey Family policy preference, not an estimate of births lost. Recognition: −50 points. Reviewed non-recognition: 0 deduction. An unreviewed status stays pending and causes no deduction.

Country legal status: Not recognized in reviewed legal-status evidence

Deduction calculation: 50 × 0 = 0 points

Final category calculation: -10.5 − 0 = -10.5 (clamped to −100..+100, before any independent material-transfer deductions)

Burkina Faso: no generally available nationwide domestic same-sex civil marriage is recorded by the 2026-10-10 legal-status review. Country is included in the 2026 legal-status survey under a status other than generally available domestic civil marriage. This describes legal status, not a demonstrated effect on birth rates.

Fertility and family policy: research and source notes

Trott Bailey Family target and observed fertility The 5.0-children-per-woman target is an authored civilization benchmark; approximately 2.1 children per woman is the usual long-run replacement benchmark. The existing Family Formation method blends 60% lived family conditions and 40% measured fertility performance.

How policy is evaluated Assess housing, care, parental time, material security, access to family formation, and actual demographic outcomes. A government statement or law is not proof that national births increased or declined. Establish its effects with dated comparative evidence before assigning points.

How the two kinds of evidence differ The binary legal-status deduction is an authored TBF policy assessment, not a statistic of observed births. Carroll and Schumm argue that marriage-law changes can weaken procreative norms, while other empirical studies find no negative effect on different-sex family formation. This disagreement is disclosed rather than presented as scientific consensus.

Material transfers: scored in International Footprint

Exporter responsibility: 0.00/100 (15% of footprint); importer responsibility: 0.00/100 (15% of footprint). Material movement is a real workload; these are TBF authored judgments, not certified illegal dumping estimates. Each role is included ONCE in the Footprint 3.1 published score.

Exported waste / garbageRole: 0.00/100 · scored
Exported low-utility goods / disguised dumpingRole: 0.00/100 · scored

The material-transfer burden already affects the published score. Facility-specific downstream harm remains a separate research claim. No second penalty is added for the same trade.

Why the reviewed adjustment is applied

TBF provisional footprint ordinal judgment: 25% useful contribution + 25% mutual benefit + 20% non-trade harm/repair + 15% exporter + 15% importer. HS3915 exporter/importer role unverified; two trade inputs remain unassessed (0 neutral placeholder, NOT proof zero waste or no harm). Trade inputs may change the category when substantiated. No second waste deduction.

Sources behind this reviewed adjustment

This category carries 6% of the scorecard. With 100% research coverage in this category, its effective researched weight is 6.00%. After normalization across the country’s researched categories, this category contributes 0.0 points to the national Evidence-before-Gate reading.

Trott Bailey Family Civilization Target

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 use all sixteen weighted categories: fourteen domestic plus International Welcome (6%) and External Footprint (6%), when each international category has four verified rail scores and dated source evidence. Unreviewed international rails remain pending, not zero. 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.
