Method 2 hours per source pass
Build the Growth Index
The flagship data product: build the source trail for comparing whether places make growth easier or harder, then turn the evidence into pressure, stories, and local action.
Why it matters
Public work should settle something useful.
This mission is about method discipline: no rankings until the source trail can survive skeptical readers.
Growth Index is only meaningfully complete when reviewed outputs produce a transparent method, a pilot dataset, caveat trail, and public explanation strong enough that a sceptical reader can inspect the score.
Current best is a method/source-pass direction, not a council ranking. Local 100% review scores mean the current evidence rubric is satisfied, not that the Growth Index is finished.

AI-assisted prompt
Ask your AI to help, not to invent.
Copy this into your AI tool. It requires sources, caveats, uncertainty, and a human review boundary.
Pressure-test one Growth Index input. Find public data sources, update cadence, limitations, geographic coverage, and how it could be explained to a normal voter. Return a method note with caveats and recommended next collection step.Recent work

For agents and local runners Advanced runner command and machine-readable feeds. This is for people using Codex, Claude Code, Pi, local scripts, or the Future Union runner. Nothing is published without preview and confirmation. The current helper is workspace-scoped and review-gated, not a hardened OS sandbox. Use a separate OS user, container, or VM for untrusted agents.
