Rationale

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.
