Independent Research & Stress Testing
CDMM research deliberately includes evidence that supports, challenges, or could improve the model. This archive examines individual mechanisms and the integrated architecture, including failures, risks, alternatives and unresolved research needs.
Independent examination describes the research approach. Inclusion of an AI-generated audit does not imply official endorsement by an AI provider, university, government or researcher. External AI output is research material, not authoritative evidence.

Evidence-status system
These labels apply to individual findings across this archive and future CDMM research pages. A verified precedent does not verify the complete model or guarantee local results.
Verified
Supported by suitable primary, government, peer-reviewed, academic, or similarly authoritative evidence.
Partially Verified
Evidence supports part of the finding but not necessarily the complete claim.
Research Required
Interesting finding requiring stronger evidence.
Contradictory Evidence
Credible evidence produces materially different conclusions.
Scenario / Hypothesis
Analytical proposition rather than established empirical evidence.
Cross-Audit Findings

Missing-Ideas Register
Research RequiredResearch and architecture concepts under investigation. These are not new CDMM Autonomies and are not established omissions or adopted changes. Each will be checked against the approved model before any originality claim.
Community Wealth Balance Sheet
Investigate a consistent inventory and valuation approach without double-counting assets or treating community capacity as municipal property.
Research RequiredPublic Asset Performance Register
Investigate asset-level reporting on cost, condition, productive capacity, public benefit and renewal exposure.
Research RequiredIntergenerational Asset Protection
Examine options for stewardship, disposal safeguards and long-term asset protection within applicable law.
Research RequiredProfessional / arm’s-length municipal enterprise governance
Examine board expertise, operating independence, democratic accountability, conflicts and transparent reporting.
Research RequiredCDMM Enterprise Gate
Test a staged appraisal process for need, authority, delivery alternatives, community value and risk.
Research RequiredEnterprise Failure & Recovery Protocol
Investigate early-warning thresholds, corrective action, service continuity and recovery or exit options.
Research RequiredCross-Municipal Cooperation Architecture
Examine shared scale, governance, cost allocation, liability and service access across municipalities.
Research RequiredCircular / lifecycle procurement
Investigate repair, reuse, whole-life cost, maintenance and end-of-life responsibilities in procurement.
Research RequiredCDMM Enterprise Gate
Scenario / HypothesisPreliminary analyst framework. CDMM Autonomy does not mean every municipality must operate every possible enterprise. Local authority, need, alternatives and evidence determine an appropriate structure.
Establish need
- 01Community Need
- 02Legal Authority
- 03Market Need / Opportunity
- 04Demand
Assess delivery
- 05Appropriate Scale
- 06Capital Requirement
- 07Operating Expertise
- 08Private / Cooperative Alternatives
- 09Competitive Effects
Test viability
- 10Financial Stress Test
- 11Community Benefit
- 12Risk
- 13Exit / Recovery Plan
Possible structures
- Municipal operation
- Municipal-private partnership
- Intermunicipal operation
- Cooperative/community structure
- Contracted delivery
- Existing private-market delivery
- Do not proceed
Each stage informs the next. An unmet condition may require revision, additional evidence or a decision not to proceed. Passing a checklist alone is not authorization or proof of viability.
Enterprise Performance Framework
Scenario / HypothesisPreliminary framework for a combined assessment. Municipal enterprises should not be evaluated solely on accounting profit.
Financial Performance
Revenue, costs, debt, operating margin and capital requirements.
Community Performance
Affordability, accessibility, employment and defined community outcomes.
Asset Performance
Asset condition, maintenance liabilities, productive capacity and long-term value.
Assess the dimensions together: define targets, disclose subsidies and obligations, and make trade-offs visible. Community benefit does not remove the need for financial sustainability.
Failure & Recovery Architecture
Scenario / HypothesisPreliminary escalation pathway with predefined performance thresholds, transparent reporting and protection of public/community assets.
- 01
Healthy
Performance within defined thresholds.
- 02
Watch
Early warnings trigger closer monitoring.
- 03
Corrective Plan
Time-bound actions, responsibilities and reporting.
- 04
Structural Review
Reassess delivery, financing and governance.
- 05
Conversion / Partnership / Merger / Exit
Where appropriate, protect assets and plan continuity of essential services.
Quantitative triggers, review periods, decision authority and recovery funding remain to be researched. No universal threshold or automatic asset disposal is prescribed.
Community Wealth Balance Sheet
Scenario / HypothesisResearch placeholder for a future measurement framework. This is not an existing Canadian municipal accounting standard, a statutory financial statement or a calculated estimate of CDMM wealth.
- Municipal land
- + housing
- + utilities
- + productive enterprises
- + infrastructure
- + financial assets
- − liabilities
= measurable public/community wealth
Research transparency
Original independent AI audits remain separate from CDMM’s verified analysis. Neither receipt nor publication confirms the accuracy of every citation.
- 1Original finding
- 2Evidence checked
- 3Verification result
- 4CDMM implication
- 5Further research required
Each published verification record will identify the original finding, checked sources and their scope, status, review date, limits and remaining research. Unchecked claims retain an appropriate evidence label. Corrections will preserve a traceable record of the original material.
