Understanding the GST Model: efficiency in action
Discover how Civicomathematics transforms a citizen’s experience into a clear institutional classification. The GST Model represents the final reading of efficiency within the CANADA architecture, illustrating how a CAD value (100–0) becomes a universal institutional category: Go, Stop, or Terminated.
The GST Model: a technical standard for public funds
The GST Model is a technical standard that measures how well public money functions, not how much money exists. It is neither fiscal, political, nor emotional. This page explains the ranges, the logic behind the leaf, and the symmetry between the fiscal GST (quantity) and the GST Leaf (efficiency). Our goal is for citizens, public institutions, and anyone interested in how the efficiency of public money is measured to understand this crucial distinction.
From CAD value to institutional category
The core idea of the GST Model is its ability to transform a CAD value (100–0), derived from a citizen's experience, into a universal institutional category: Go, Stop, or Terminated. This mathematical transfer provides a clear and objective measure of institutional performance. Readers should understand that the GST Model does not measure money itself, but rather the efficiency with which that money functions within public services. It is a vital component of the CANADA architecture.
Your next step: exploring the C-ANA-DA architecture
The GST Model is the final classification in the C-ANA-DA architecture. To fully grasp this system, we encourage you to explore how the CAD value is created and how the CANADA architecture functions as a whole. Understanding this process—from a citizen’s experience, to CAD, to GST—will provide insight into institutional transparency and the overall structure of our model.
