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
- Tourism, event and international-cycle volatility must enter the prudential profile.
- The levy cannot be estimated without considering competitiveness, distribution and administrative capacity.
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.
