Mental Health Crisis Response: $30B

⚠ This is a flightplan, not a commitment. Flightplans are hypothetical policy proposals modelled in the Ducklings causal simulation. They become projects only when voted into adoption through Consensus. Metrics shown reflect simulation model outputs, not real-world outcomes.

Overview

A $5.4B increase in mental health spending: community programs, crisis centres, and workplace wellness. Chain: mental_health_spending -> mental_health_workforce (+0.5, immediate) + workforce_productivity (+0.15, d4) + emergency_room_visits (-0.20, d4) + suicide_rate (-0.30, d8) + incarceration_rate (-0.10, d12). Mental health investment cascades through productivity, ER pressure, suicide prevention, and criminal justice over 12 epochs.

Ducklings Simulation

This proposal is active in the Ducklings causal simulation (Epoch 33). The simulation models downstream effects using a BFS cascade engine with strength-weighted, time-delayed edges capped at 3-hop depth and ±25% per-hop limits. Cascade outputs are bounded by variable saturation thresholds.
