Strategy

Avoid double counting

Do not automatically add overlapping costs or savings; every deduction should have an explicit basis.

The proposal

No cross-domain credit or cost is added automatically; substitution and nesting require an accountable owner and quantitative evidence.

How to read it

Sources identify relevant rights, methods, findings or precedents. They do not automatically establish the full World4Humans formulation. Where the project makes its own choice, that choice remains open to criticism and revision.

Sources and literature

Authority
World4Humans proposal informed by external precedents.
Relationship
Established standards, methods or components exist; the wider World4Humans formulation is not established by them alone.
