How a Corruption Mechanism Survives

Field notes

The project classifies public-value channels such as budgets, licenses, land, appointments, and contracts, then examines how discretion and weak documentation affect the risk of misuse. Its second model follows nine points between a defective decision and a consequence, including local disclosure, investigation, adjudication, sanction, limitation periods, and resistance to supervisory capture. The visible analysis counts 541 allocation-and-licensing failures and 385 disclosure failures, while noting that audit coverage itself shapes the totals.
