Goal: Ensure participants have stable access to basic needs while acknowledging natural income fluctuations.
Percentage of participants whose essential needs (food, housing, healthcare, and basic living costs) are fully met each month through program payouts + personal income.
Measures whether program contributions smooth participants’ access to resources, especially for those with irregular, seasonal, or freelance income.
Self-reported metric: participants’ confidence in meeting monthly expenses.
Reflects psychological and practical stability provided by the program.
Wealth & Asset Growth
Tracks accumulation of personal or community wealth (including affinity group contributions).
Ensures participants are building resilience over time, not just meeting immediate needs.
Monitors participants’ ability to reduce high-interest debt responsibly while maintaining baseline coverage.
Optional: tracks changes in debt-to-income ratios or participation in debt-reduction plans.
Note: Income swings from freelancing, seasonal work, or creative endeavors are expected and neutral; metrics focus on how well the program supports participants through variability, not penalizes them.
Goal: Evaluate community cohesion, program adoption, and engagement levels.
Percentage of participants remaining active year-over-year.
Number of participants engaged in one or more affinity groups.
Helps track the adoption and experimentation of higher-sharing subgroups.
Frequency and consistency of monthly conversations, meetings, or collaborative activities.
Optional: self-reported sense of trust, mutual care, and connection.
Exit & Re-Entry Patterns
Tracks number of exits, re-entries, and duration of time out.
Assesses program stability and effectiveness of entry/re-entry rules.
Goal: Ensure fairness across participants regardless of income, wealth, location, or group membership.
PPP-adjusted Payout Equity
Compares purchasing power across participants living in different countries or cost-of-living areas.
Contribution vs. Payout Ratio
Tracks fairness in the balance of contributions relative to payouts, particularly for higher-income or higher-asset participants.
Wealth Distribution within Affinity Groups
Ensures group pooling mechanisms benefit all members equitably and do not disadvantage individuals.
Goal: Track sustainability and ability to expand support to more participants.
Total contributions relative to total payouts over time.
Indicates financial sustainability.
Number of Participants Supported
Total active participants and trends over time.
Formation of New Affinity Groups / Nested Communities
Tracks adoption of the program’s flexible subgroups and new collaborative communities.
Goal: Evaluate the program as a living experiment in economic stability and shared income systems.
Self-reported measures of stress, financial anxiety, life satisfaction, and overall quality of life.
Tracks changes in spending patterns, savings habits, and participation in community initiatives.
Monitors the impact of experimental rules: affinity group contribution rates, wealth tax, debt adjustments, and re-entry penalties.
Financial Resilience: Participants are able to maintain baseline needs even with fluctuating income.
Equitable Access: Low-income and international participants are supported fairly via PPP-adjusted payouts.
Community Cohesion: Affinity groups, nested communities, and peer interaction strengthen engagement.
Autonomy & Safety: Participants can safely exit, re-enter, or leave subgroups without undue risk.
Sustainable Growth: Metrics confirm scalability and financial stability of the program while enabling experimentation.
Research Insights: Program generates actionable knowledge on income stabilization, shared wealth, and collective resilience.
