Rationale

A $20B boost in K-12 and post-secondary education spending across all provinces. The patience lever — every edge has massive delays: education_spending -> graduation_rate (+0.22, d4) + literacy_rate (+0.30, d4) + employment_rate (+0.01, d16!) + median_income (+0.25, d20!) + innovation_index (+0.30, d24!). Students see that education investment takes 4-24 epochs to bear fruit — the ultimate delayed gratification.

Details

Epoch: 33

Domain: education

Fiscal cost estimate (LLM): $20.00B CAD

Structural estimate (RIPPLE): +$40.03B CAD net (v3-bfs-signed depth=2, decay=0.5/hop; diverges)

Top RIPPLE cost paths
  • +$32.00B → consumer_spending (Consumer Spending Growth) via education_spending
  • +$2.75B → education_spending (Education Spending) via gdp_growth_rate
  • +$2.43B → federal_budget_balance (Federal Budget Balance) via federal_spending
  • +$2.25B → healthcare_spending (Healthcare Spending) via education_spending

Causal effects: 5 downstream variables affected (0 immediate)

Divergence after: 220.445

Variable changes

  • education_spending: 165 → 185

Proposed policy move

education_spending: 165 → 185 (▲ 20)

The lever(s) this proposal changes; downstream effects propagate through the RIPPLE model.
