Reading the Exogenous Ratio: Q3 Notes

A short explainer on how to read Kardian World's quarterly exogenous ratio report — the number that shows whether value is entering the economy from outside it.

What the ratio measures

Every quarter, Kardian World publishes its exogenous ratio: the share of value entering the economy from sources outside it — client work, business presence, education, licensed infrastructure, and similar external revenue.

Why it's published against a threshold

The ratio is measured against a pre-stated failure threshold set before the reporting period begins, not adjusted afterward to fit the result. That's the point — it's the number that determines whether Kardian World is a functioning economy or a closed loop.

Where to find it

Reports are published alongside DAO updates and referenced in the whitepaper's overview of the ecosystem's four foundations.
