Unified Architecture for Catalytic Capital

Layer 4: System Value Formation

Definition

The fourth functional layer that generates and measures impact beyond financial returns. System Value Formation captures the social, environmental, and economic externalities created by catalytic capital deployment, making invisible value visible.

Example

A workforce development program generates measurable system value: $2.3M in increased lifetime earnings, $400K in reduced welfare costs, $150K in tax revenue—totaling $2.85M in system value from a $1M deployment.
