Phase 1: Emergency Pilot (Year 1)

Objective: Prove the mechanism works before crisis hits. Launch pilot in 3–5 diverse locations. Focus on 2–3 categories. Establish fraud prevention mechanisms. Develop assignment platform. Measure and publicize results.

Phase 2: National Rollout (Years 2–3)

Trigger: Either successful pilot results or accelerating AI displacement forcing action. Congressional authorization. National platform deployment. Progressive corporate tax + HC offset implemented.

Phase 3: Scale Response (Years 3–8)

Congress adjusts values annually based on displacement levels. HC system scales automatically. Traditional programs begin phase-down where HC proves superior.

Phase 4: Tax System Evolution (Years 8–15)

Traditional corporate deductions gradually sunset. Tax code simplifies around profit minus HC redemptions. End State: Corporate Profit - HC Redemptions = Tax Liability.
