Assess a coordinated component on extremely high wealth as a possible common source only when adoption, tax base, allocation and legal responsibility are defined.
Possible source for the global common pool. It is not automatically assigned to any single country budget.
When it can be counted
- A credible legal and administrative basis must exist to collect, save or transfer the resources concerned.
- Usable capacity must be estimated separately from a theoretical or planning ceiling.
- Administrative costs, distributional effects, incentives and avoidance risks must be considered before crediting resources to material-security financing.
What it does not prove
- It is a possible common-pool source, not an automatic consequence of a wealth-concentration rule.
- Tax base, beneficial ownership, jurisdiction, liquidity, collection and allocation must be specified.
They are not resources already available or funding already secured.
These families remain instruments to parameterize with context-specific data and rules. No entry is treated as an available resource merely because it appears in the catalogue; global quantitative feasibility remains to be demonstrated.
