Alignment Score

Definition

Measures how well capital flows are synchronized with mission cycle requirements. High S_Λ means funding matches the timing of impact needs; low S_Λ indicates temporal mismatch between resources and requirements.

Formula

Example

Vienna Housing has S_Λ ≈ 0.85 (funding matches long-term housing lifecycle). Annual grant-dependent programs have S_Λ ≈ 0.25 (funding cycle mismatched with mission needs).
