A plain-language guide to using the American Butterfly Effect engine.

What A.B.E. Does

A.B.E. helps users identify drift, quantify impact, model recovery, map deployment, and verify integrity.

What drifted?
What did it cost?
What can be recovered?
Where can recovery go?
Did deployment remain stable?

You do not need to understand every formula before using the engine.

Use This Path First

1. Upload / Intake

Upload documents, paste text, or enter structured facts.

Open Intake

2. Run Full Pipeline

Let the System Dashboard run the engine chain automatically.

Run Pipeline

3. Read Results

Review the plain-language summary and key numbers.

What Each Module Means

Module Plain Meaning
INTAKEPrepare uploaded documents and structured facts.
CAEEstablish the governing authority baseline.
CDAIdentify divergence signals.
CDIMeasure how far the system drifted.
CIRICalculate recoverable value and ROI.
CIBSAllocate recovery capital.
CIIMeasure propagation and effectiveness.
INTEGRATIONVerify integrity and build audit receipts.
MACROProject broader economic ripple effects.
RTDeploy recovery into real-world sectors.
CFFReview funding alignment and scope.
CCRIMeasure participation and credit-access effects.
AFFEVerify appropriation fidelity, funding alignment, and deployment stability.

Privacy Model

A.B.E. is local-first. It does not require forced accounts, hidden uploads, silent cloud processing, or a required backend.

Audit Receipts

The Integration layer can generate SHA-256 hashes and audit artifacts.

Plain language: if verified outputs change, the receipt hash changes.
