Continuity Obligation Inventory

# Continuity Obligation Inventory **Domain:** Continuity / Finance / Privacy **Doc Type:** Canonical Planning Instrument **Maturity:** Proposed ## Definition A **Continuity Obligation Inventory** is a privacy-preserving aggregate account of the preservation, adjudication, activation, compute, energy, storage, migration and succession obligations generated by a population's [[wiki/Continuity Election|continuity elections]] and protected minimums. It is a liability-planning instrument, not a registry of personal belief. Individual directives remain protected in the [[wiki/Continuity Election Registry|Continuity Election Registry]]. The inventory should expose only the quantities and risk distributions needed to forecast capacity and fund obligations. ## Data-Minimization Architecture The inventory may aggregate: - counts by [[wiki/Continuity Service Class|service class]] and jurisdiction; - projected cold, warm and hot service demand; - preservation horizons and migration cycles; - contingent activation or adjudication burdens; - compute, energy and storage reserve requirements; - provider-concentration and sovereign-failure exposure; and - funded, underfunded and unfunded liability ranges. It should not expose a named person's theology, medical facts, intimate archive or full directive. Small cohorts, rare choices and linked metadata require suppression or other disclosure controls. ## Finance Function The inventory translates demand into the balance-sheet problem governed by [[wiki/Continuity Liability|Continuity Liability]], [[wiki/Continuity Finance|Continuity Finance]], [[wiki/Financial Assurance|Financial Assurance]] and [[wiki/Continuity Resource Allocation|Continuity Resource Allocation]]. Forecasting does not authorize activation; it makes authorized obligations visible before they become unfunded promises. ## Key Insight **A continuity polity must be able to price its promises without turning private convictions into an administrative surveillance system.** ## Corpus Sources [[articles/Who Pays for Your Heaven|Who Pays for Your Heaven]] · [[articles/We Were Never Going to Make It|We Were Never Going to Make It]] · [[articles/A Systems-Diagnostic Framework for Planetary-Scale Computation|Computocene Metabolism]] ## See Also [[wiki/Continuity Service Class|Continuity Service Class]], [[wiki/Continuity Service Level|Continuity Service Level]], [[wiki/Continuity Finance|Continuity Finance]]  ## Deep-Time Continuity Interface This node is audited through [[wiki/Deep Time Continuity|Deep Time Continuity]] for future control-surface conversion, ontological drift, succession, irreversibility, due process, and resource incidence. The backlink records analytical relevance; it does not establish continuity intent in the present rule or institution.
