Digital Subsidy Integrity Act

⚠ 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.

Continuum Entry

Overview

Reforms federal and provincial digital infrastructure subsidy frameworks to prevent subsidy capture by carriers. Mandatory unbundling, price benchmark audit, infrastructure reversion, and disclosure requirements. Directly addresses the TELUS POSP program failure where medical clinics paid 2-3x market rate for internet services bundled with subsidized EHR solutions.

Rationale

subsidy_capture 0.68. Unbundling and clawback provisions.

Ducklings Simulation

This proposal is active in the Ducklings causal simulation (Epoch 101). 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.
