Historical scale uses gross audited functional expenses including event direct benefits. Public enforcement, employer remediation and partner legal resources are excluded from donor denominator but required for a gross-resource estimate. Disjoint public consumption losses and additional real resource costs are alternative sensitivity worlds; the same financing transfer is never included twice.","geographicAttribution":"Only health gains experienced within the California edition boundary count. g=1 applies to already-filtered California worker-time in the illustrative enforcement branch, not automatically to every nationwide precedent or every worker's future life after leaving California.","formula":"Partial legal-to-protection channel only. Legal-support equivalents U=(C/E)*Y*m; net inspection equivalents I=U*p*n*v; Q_CA=I*B*e*k*L*sum(t=1..T,(1+r)^(-t))*g-H.

Resource workers=I*33; net annual consumption=8400*.26*k*householdShare*netRetained*positiveShare-burden; income=.5*workers*fourYearPV*log1p(net/before). Positive overlap applies only gains, all negative burdens retained.","counterfactual":"Absent an extra donation, existing WorkSafe staff, State Bar grants, reserves, CCIJ and pro bono co-counsel continue planned work; Cal/OSHA continues enforcement and implemented reforms. Historical settlement obligations already exist. Extra complaints may redirect scarce inspectors from other hazardous workplaces rather than add inspections. Count only the net change in timing, coverage, durability or hazard correction.","attribution":"Infer the marginal causal contribution from costed work plans and process evidence, not legal-service totals, a proportion of all California workers, fines or equal division among coalition members. Subtract displaced public enforcement benefits and avoid counting the same injury reduction across legal assistance, training, regulation and inspection branches.","uncertainty":"Conditional analyst central, not an empirically identified marginal return or comprehensive portfolio estimate. Low-confidence multiplicative priors dominate. Scenarios are stress tests, not confidence intervals. Zero, net harm, and larger omitted policy effects remain possible. The positive partial channel is not a demonstrated lower bound. Household incidence, baseline, net retention, overlap and burden are judgments. The historical2011-dollar medical/lost-wage extrapolation is unadjusted and does not establish current worker resources.","nativeOutcomes":"Net additional completed inspections, durable verified hazard-corrected worker-years, counterfactual injury or infection cases avoided, finite health loss avoided per unique person. Complaints, legal advice, PPE deliveries, standing decisions, penalties and nominal legal coverage are intermediate outputs. For recurrent or overlapping injuries, cap summed losses using each person's joint utility/survival trajectory; the per-claim illustration assumes non-overlapping losses and is not valid automatically for repeated claims.","inputs":[{"name":"E","value":1739390,"unit":"USD per fiscal year","basis":"observed","rationale":"Gross FY2025 audited all-function expense including donor direct benefits.","sourceIds":["audit25"]},{"name":"Y","value":36,"unit":"reported legal-support service units per report year","basis":"observed","rationale":"The report contents says 36 legal-support units while page 14 says 40.
