Five-ledger architecture / Structural Value Units (SVUe)
Outside burden should become visible before it becomes cost, scandal, or loss of legitimacy.
The IVA Externalities and Equity Ledger recognizes external obligations, stakeholder consequence, access, legitimacy, environmental effects, exposure, and distribution of benefit or harm.
The ledger does not convert public trust, access, environmental consequence, or unequal burden into a speculative dollar figure. It gives those positions independent structural standing.
What the ledger recognizes
Independent standing inside the domain.
The ledger does not convert public trust, access, environmental consequence, or unequal burden into a speculative dollar figure. It gives those positions independent structural standing.
- Public, regulatory, client, funder, community, and stakeholder obligations
- Access, fairness, burden distribution, legitimacy, and distributional consequence
- Environmental effects, external exposure, trust, and consequences outside the reporting boundary
Common structural signals
Conditions that formal reporting can miss.
An obligation exists but no role owns the evidence or follow-through
The condition requires evidence and recognition inside its native ledger rather than informal acknowledgment alone.
Benefits and burdens fall on different groups without standing in the decision
The condition requires evidence and recognition inside its native ledger rather than informal acknowledgment alone.
Public or customer impact appears only after complaint or crisis
The condition requires evidence and recognition inside its native ledger rather than informal acknowledgment alone.
The organization meets an internal target while exporting harm elsewhere
The condition requires evidence and recognition inside its native ledger rather than informal acknowledgment alone.
Evidence and governance
Recognition requires more than a plausible story.
A structural position must satisfy documentation, persistence, materiality, cross-functional impact, and verifiability. Once recognized, the register identifies classification, valuation, evidence reference, responsible owner, review date, and event history.
The public page explains the domain and its requirements. Detailed calibration, scoring interpretation, templates, diagnostic sequencing, and audit instruments remain protected.
