System Value Multiplier (SVM)

Definition

The ratio of Total System Value to initial capital. Measures the total impact generated per dollar invested over the full time horizon.

Formula

Example

If $100,000 generates $2.67M in system value over 30 cycles (R=0.95, γ=1.7), SVM = 26.7×. Cycles, not years — thirty cycles of a climate pool is 90–450 years.
