A $1.7T program envelope cannot be governed on trust. It has to be governed on architecture. This is ours — drawn from Japan's FILP examiner discipline and Singapore's endowment separation, and made public by default.
Standards, capital, examination and disclosure are held by four separate bodies. No individual sits on more than one. The firewall is the product.
Independent domain experts — one per SDG cluster — write and revise the outcome standards (a poverty exit, a healthy life-year, a tonne of carbon cut). They never touch capital. Their sole product is the definition of proof.
Deploys capital against certified standards on a 180-day reallocation cycle. Cannot alter a standard, cannot exempt a manager, cannot override an examiner finding. Answers to the two-key rule on every reserve draw.
Statutory ex-post evaluation modeled on Japan's FILP examiner regime. Publishes findings in full. A stack that fails two consecutive reviews is defunded automatically — no board vote required.
Not a committee — a discipline. Every rupee in and out, every donor, every counterparty, every reserve draw, published on this site within a week. The ledger is the reason the other three organs are trusted.
Seven rules, drawn from Japan's FILP program-investment discipline and Singapore's endowment and standards-body practice, govern every dollar in the $1.7T program envelope.
Every dollar funds capital formation with an identified repayment source — never an operating subsidy.
Standards and dashboard operations are financed separately from the capital account, so investment can never drift into overhead.
Executing stacks receive a single budget tied to verified-outcome KPIs, not line-item approval — autonomy at the edge, discipline at the gate.
The Countdown Reserve and all buffer pools require sign-off from the Authority board plus an independent council before any draw.
No more than 50% of expected long-run real returns may be spent in any year, protecting the program's seed capital permanently.
Every capital stack faces line-item examiner review and statutory ex-post evaluation, the way Japan's FILP program is audited.
The body that certifies outcomes never manages the capital that profits from them — the firewall that keeps verification credible.
The mechanism that separates a narrative from an outcome. Every claim on this program travels the same five steps — no exceptions, no shortcuts, no closed-door adjudication.
The Standards Council publishes what counts. Written in operational detail — sample size, measurement window, adjudication rule.
An executing stack submits an outcome claim with raw data and methodology. Nothing is trusted on narrative.
An independent verifier — never the manager, never a related party — attests against the standard. Attestation is signed and versioned.
Verified outcomes are posted to the public dashboard within 30 days. Rejected claims are also posted, with reason.
At the 180-day cycle, capital moves toward whatever cleared verification fastest per dollar. Nothing is entitled to funding it has not earned.
Governance without hard numbers is a mission statement. These are the constraints written into the charter — quantitative, auditable, non-negotiable.
Any expense above $2,500 or any reserve draw requires sign-off from the Capital Board plus an independent councilor. No single signature moves material capital.
Every transaction is posted publicly within a week. A ledger entry missing past day seven is itself a reportable governance failure.
Capital is rebalanced twice a year against verified outcomes per dollar. No stack has a permanent line item.
In any year, spending is capped at half of expected long-run real returns, protecting seed capital in perpetuity.
Foundation opex is contractually capped at 0.4% of program envelope. FY26–31 plan runs at 0.37%.
The body that certifies outcomes never manages the capital that profits from them. Cross-appointments are prohibited by charter.
Every donation, grant and expense is logged within 7 days of transaction.
