Net Legal Production Index

NLPI traces value, negative impacts, positive contributions, legal coherence and the share that can realistically be captured after implementation costs.

Illustrative demonstrator. Fictional inputs; not an official statistical product, legal determination, financing-eligibility tool or observed result.

Optional traceability layer. LUMEN can attach provenance, quality, uncertainty, normative links and authorised decision uses to indicators selected through the intergovernmental Beyond GDP process. Each indicator remains under its originating institutional mandate and retains its original definition and statistical or legal status; relevant evidence may also inform OBI or CEDI.

Evidence status. NLPI and its value expressions are proposed pre-standardisation instruments. The calculation below is illustrative and has not been independently validated for institutional or financing decisions.

Formula definitions

Vᵢ: Gross value produced or protected by unit i.
Iᵢ: Negative impacts, hidden costs, externalities and risks associated with unit i.
Cᵢ: Positive contribution from unit i beyond direct output.
Pᵢ: Optional factor for non-binding priorities only. It is not universal or standardised; an authorised jurisdictional method must bound, version, justify and sensitivity-test it.
τᵢ(T): Realistic capture rate for unit i at horizon T, based on capability, incentives and evidence.
Mᵢ(T): Implementation and transition cost for unit i at horizon T.
i · Σᵢ · T: i is the evaluated action, policy, impact or other unit; Σᵢ sums all evaluated units; T is the stated time horizon.
