This release restructures the dimension from 24 capability groups and 72 capabilities to 20 capability groups and 69 capabilities, applies the rule that every description opens 'The capacity to' together with its corollary for this dimension, that a statistic is not a capability and the capability is the machinery that moves the statistic, establishes a fixed three-layer indicator read beneath every capability (machinery, performance, position), documents boundary_conditions and order_logic at every level with the ordering concepts stated explicitly, and validates the structure against the convergence of standing multilateral diagnostics of fiscal, financial, trade and investment machinery, financial sector assessment programmes, the international manuals that separate research measurement from innovation measurement, value-added trade accounting, business-environment and entrepreneurship assessments, and the new generation of statutory economic security and supply-chain regimes now standing on four continents.", "change_summary": [ "A single rule applied dimension-wide, with a corollary for this dimension: every description opens 'The capacity to', and a statistic is not a capability, the capability being the machinery, the institutions, markets, instruments and programmes, that moves the statistic. The v0.0 dimension recorded the economy's outputs; v0.1 records the state's and the economy's machinery, with the outputs retained as its measures.", "A three-layer indicator read established beneath every capability, in fixed order: machinery (does the institution, market or instrument exist and function), performance (the flows and outcomes it delivers) and position (share, standing and leverage in the world economy), headline first within each. Every demoted statistic in this release persists at the performance or position layer of a named successor; the measurement surface loses nothing and gains the machinery layer everywhere.", "Third-party rankings purged as capabilities: nodes that held external assessments of the nation as the nation's own capability are demoted to the position layer, on the principle that a framework built as a transparent alternative to proprietary assessment cannot contain proprietary assessments as nodes.", "The duplicate audit closed at eight: the twin productivity nodes, the identical knowledge-intensive-exports node held in two domains, the value-chain position held in two domains, enterprise finance held in two domains, external buffers restated as the sum of two sibling capabilities, export diversity measured three times under three names, outward investment held in two domains, and a research-intensity ratio held in two dimensions. Each measure now lives exactly once, as a capability's indicator.", "Fiscal capacity rebuilt on the diagnostic-per-capability principle: where a standing international diagnostic assesses a distinct piece of machinery, the framework holds a node. Revenue mobilisation, expenditure and budget management, and public investment management stand up as new capabilities alongside the carried debt capability; the fiscal balance and the sovereign rating demote to their indicator layers.", "Labour & Employment created as a capability group, repairing the dimension's largest coverage gap and landing the activation seam codified in Human Capital v0.1: that domain develops people, this dimension employs them. Four capabilities cover participation, institutions and wage setting, employment services and matching, and adjustment, transition and formalisation.", "The financial system deepened: long-term and institutional capital added as the patient-capital machinery absent from v0.0; the enterprise-finance duplicate resolved by holding development and policy finance in Financial Strength and risk capital in Production & Innovation; and the regulation group completed as four supervisory perimeters, prudential, integrity, conduct and infrastructure oversight, with the last two new.", "The stability group recast from shock absorption, a term that belongs to the resilience dimension, to financial stability and crisis management, and the external-buffers node recast from a duplicate of reserves into the external liquidity and safety-net capability.", "Two group merges in Financial Strength: access folded into system depth and global integration folded into sovereign capital, the latter renamed Sovereign Capital & External Financial Power to state what the group holds, the projection of financial strength abroad, closing on the financial-centre capability new in this release.", "The productive economy completed: services and agrifood stand up as capabilities beside manufacturing and the foundational industries, the strategic-materials node returns to Strategic Infrastructure and Critical Technology per the established minerals precedent, and regional and place-based development is added so that the domain reads the whole territory rather than one city.", "The innovation architecture resolved along the seam locked in Human Capital v0.1: research measurement governs there, innovation measurement governs here. The v0.0 research group dissolves, its workforce node returning to Human Capital and its intensity ratio closing as a cross-dimension duplicate; a new Innovation & Commercialisation group assembles the business-innovation, knowledge-transfer, intellectual-property and cluster capabilities from three dissolved groups, every one carrying its identifier by relocation; and the frontier-technologies node returns to the Critical Technology domain, which holds the same content at full resolution.", "Trade facilitation separated from trade infrastructure: the fixed transport assets return to Strategic Infrastructure, while the moving capabilities, customs and border management and the maritime and logistics services economy, stay, the latter recast from an asset description to a services capability.", "Three additions complete the trading state: standards, conformity and quality infrastructure, the machinery that lets exports meet the world's rules; export credit and trade finance, now an open capability contest among major economies; and the tourism and visitor economy, a strategic sector in half the world's national plans and absent from v0.0.", "The dimension's closer, Economic Leverage & Dependence, recast from a list of risks into the machinery that manages them: strategic supply security as the capacity to see, stress-test and diversify dependencies; concentration risk paired with the stabilisation and hedging machinery that manages it; and leverage paired with coercion resistance. The doctrine is codified: positions and response machinery read here, the legal instruments belong to governance, their employment belongs to influence, and systemic shock absorption belongs to the resilience dimension.", "Identifier persistence: the dimension code, all three domain codes, 18 of 20 capability group codes and 50 capability codes are carried, nine capabilities by same-level relocation, one of them crossing a domain boundary within this coordinated release under the extended relocation convention; 28 codes are retired (see retired_codes), every one against a named successor or destination; all new nodes carry null codes pending assignment.", "Ordering documented at every level and stated as one continuous line of twenty beats across the three domains: anchor, raise, deepen, guard, steady, project; yield, work, build, climb, venture, spark, spread; flow, deal, stream, invest, sell, weave, bind.
