7  Pillars and indicators

The framework groups indicators into two families — exposure & susceptibility (what raises risk) and agency-resilience (what protects it) — following the logic introduced in ?sec-resilience.

Risk is read as Exposure × Susceptibility ÷ Agency-Resilience.

Every indicator is defined once, in the machine-readable registry at analysis/registry/indicators.yml, which drives both the computation (Chapter 9) and the codebook (see the appendix). The table below is generated from that registry, so it can never disagree with the code.

Table 7.1: Draft indicator set (generated from the registry).
id indicator pillar direction weight
0 intermediation_depth AI intermediation depth exposure negative 1.0
1 channel_concentration Communication channel concentration exposure negative 1.0
2 labor_leverage_exposure Labor-leverage exposure exposure negative 1.0
3 polycentric_governance Polycentric governance resilience positive 1.0
4 civic_density Civic and cooperative density resilience positive 1.0
5 channel_redundancy Communication redundancy resilience positive 1.0

TODO: justify each indicator’s construct validity — the link from mechanism to measure.
