The central reconstruction adds the separately reported donated legal-service valuation to 2024 gross accrual Form 990 expenses. It is not an audited full-resource amount: the $146,191 reconciliation gap remains. Sensitivities use Form 990 gross expense excluding donated legal services and the impact report's stated total. The numerator prices only short-term eviction-related health, not a whole-portfolio return or full societal analysis.","geographicAttribution":"LA MSA is Los Angeles and Orange counties. Direct legal services are Los Angeles-focused; g=.98 is a judgment allowance for beneficiary residence outside the boundary, not an observed geocoded share. Statewide policy spillovers are unpriced.","formula":"Q_all=N*d*a*b*q/(1+r); Q_LA=g*Q_all; price10=10*C/Q_LA.

No household-size multiplier, recurring annual credit or separate hospital/benefits QALYs.","counterfactual":"Existing public contracts, right-to-counsel programs, limited assistance, other counsel, tenant self-help and settlements continue. a concerns legal outcome additionality at case level; b separately concerns whether more unrestricted resources change volume rather than replace existing finance. Already enacted policy wins are not new-gift benefits.","attribution":"No coalition policy credit is claimed. d reduces possible repeated or insufficiently defined prevention records. Only one index client receives the finite utility benefit; financial recovery and family members are not added.","uncertainty":"Subjective conditional component model, not a causal estimate of ICLC or probability confidence interval. External trials justify a possible legal mechanism and a zero scenario, not these parameter values. Utility conversion is an explicit prior. Unpriced portfolio may dominate, so do not use this component price as a complete rank.","nativeOutcomes":"875 reported prevention outcomes become 700 distinct relevant cases, 175 incremental preventions and 87.5 funding-attributable preventions before geography; 85.75 within LA under the central assumptions.
