Understanding the GST Model
The GST Model is the final institutional classification within the C‑ANA‑DA architecture. It transforms a CAD value (100–0), derived from a citizen’s structured experience, into a universal efficiency category:
-
G (Go)
-
S (Stop)
-
T (Terminated)
The GST Model does not measure money itself. It measures how efficiently public money functions inside institutions.
It is not fiscal, not political, not emotional — it is a technical standard of institutional performance.
The GST Ranges
The GST Model uses three universal ranges:
-
G (Go): 100–80 High institutional efficiency. The service functions clearly, consistently, and with minimal friction.
-
S (Stop): 79–60 Moderate efficiency. The service functions, but with noticeable friction, delays, or inconsistencies.
-
T (Terminated): 59–0 Low or critical efficiency. The service fails to function adequately or creates significant institutional friction.
These ranges allow any citizen or institution to interpret performance with clarity and neutrality.
The GST Leaf: A Visual Reading of Efficiency
The GST Leaf is the visual representation of the GST Model. It mirrors the structure of the Canadian fiscal GST, but in a different dimension:
-
Fiscal GST measures quantity
-
GST Leaf measures efficiency
Both operate on the same object — public money — but one measures how much, and the other measures how well it functions.
The leaf format allows:
-
clear visualization of institutional zones
-
intuitive interpretation of efficiency
-
a standardized reading across cases
From CAD Value to GST Category
The GST Model receives a CAD value (100–0) generated through:
-
Structured verbal modeling
-
Citizen‑assigned CAD score
-
Mathematical transfer through ANA
This transfer converts the CAD value into one of the three GST categories.
This process ensures:
-
neutrality
-
replicability
-
transparency
-
independence from political or emotional interpretation
What the GST Model Measures — and What It Does NOT Measure
The GST Model measures:
-
the efficiency of public money
-
the functioning of institutional processes
-
the level of friction experienced by citizens
-
the clarity and consistency of public services
The GST Model does not measure:
-
the amount of money
-
political satisfaction
-
emotional perception
-
ideology
-
economic inflation
-
CPI (Consumer Price Index)
The GST Leaf is independent of CPI. CPI is used only in the universal law W = k·E, not in the GST classification.
Why the GST Model Matters
The GST Model provides:
-
a universal language for institutional efficiency
-
a clear reading of how public money functions
-
a standardized classification across services
-
a transparent outcome of the C‑ANA‑DA architecture
-
a citizen‑based institutional measurement
It is the final step in the flow:
Citizen → CAD → ANA → GST
