07 · Governance

Split authority, independent review, resident protections.

The updated governance document expands the administrative firewall into a rights, audit, consent, ownership, and hard-stop protocol.

Authority model

Technical core and executive administration remain separate.

The Principal Systems Architect retains technical authority over the engineering core, working papers, and falsifiable clauses. The Executive Director is the sole public-facing legal and administrative entity, responsible for capital, partnerships, and pilot operations; the office is currently vacant or interim.

Principal Systems Architect

Technical direction, empirical validation, repository directives, and core specification changes.

Executive Director

Fiscal tracking, corporate negotiations, municipal execution, media, and external administration.

Resident protections

Housing is separated from treatment compliance.

Placement is immediate. The local operator cannot evict a resident for refusing therapeutic intervention or failing a sobriety screen. The updated governance document limits eviction to verified physical assault or kinetic destruction of capital property.

Hold boundary: Facility staff possess no authority to initiate a hold. In California, the document points to WIC §5150 as the applicable short-term emergency hold mechanism and specifies a mechanical return to voluntary liberty at hour 73.

Cohort scope

Use the architecture only where its evidence is intended to apply.

The specification is engineered exclusively for chronic, high-acuity unsheltered homelessness. It explicitly excludes economically displaced people whose primary barrier is rent burden or job loss; the repository directs that population toward rapid rehousing or rental vouchers.

Pre-activation gates

Four independent reviews before activation.

01

Jurisdiction attorney

Confirms the local emergency hold statute and zero facility hold authority.

02

Financial reviewer

Validates the 42–52% fully loaded cost bound, debt amortization, and CalAIM eligibility assumptions.

03

Citation verifier

Checks that cited sources exist and support the statements attributed to them.

04

Civil liberties auditor

Determines the boundary between safety-critical monitoring and surveillance, including the Philanthropic Set-Aside.

Data and ownership

Blind telemetry, ephemeral data, decentralized occupancy rights.

The current model combines minimum physical telemetry, 24-hour raw-data destruction, facility-level delayed dashboards, 99-year master leases held by localized community land trusts, and a Hostile Governance Trust structure.

Prototype hard stop

No scale without evidence.

A single independently evaluated three-pod prototype is mandatory. Failure of any Seven Binary Verification Metric at 365 days mechanically halts network expansion until the architecture is corrected.
