{"edition":"usa","organization":"Immunize.org","organizationId":"org:immunize-org","boundaryVersion":"USA-50-states-DC-v1","updated":"2026-09-14","model":{"version":"usa-alpha-immunize-org-2026-09-13-judgment-20260914","costScope":"Ordinary unrestricted recipient support retains all programs, fundraising, administration, merchandise cost and investment-management costs. C=3247254 is FY 2025 tax functional expense plus 65922 COGS, a non-donated-service expense anchor, not cash flow or marginal cost. Annual financial series additionally includes 81792 recognized donated services in 2025. Donated information, external clinician implementation labor, vaccines and administration are not free societal resources. G=10000 is normalization only.","geographicAttribution":"USA residents of 50 states andDC are the target. US clinical schedules, domestic coalitions and practice guidance support a predominantly domestic pathway, but the public websites and global policy advising also reach abroad. FY 2025 ScheduleF records 26524 international guidance expense inEastAsia/Pacific andEurope; that expenditure percentage does not measure health share. Conditional g=.95, stress.8–.99, is a judgment for the older-adult influenza pathway, not observed outcome attribution. Other geography and vaccine pathways remain unquantified.","formula":"At annual recipient scale, N=K×V×delta additional at-visit influenza doses from otherwise-attributable implementations. q=tau×(rD×e×L+rH×e×qH+rI×e×qI)−h net QALY per dose. Q_all=(G/C)×b×N×q + Q_other; Q_USA=Q_all×g in conditional homogeneous-geography tests. Price=10G/Q_USA if positive. Central b, K and g are judgments; other health remains unpriced. K discounts adoption that equivalent freely available guidance would cause anyway; b separately discounts donor/sponsor replacement or reserve financing. tau discounts later alternative vaccination and incomplete seasonal protection. h is incremental adverse burden relative to the actual alternative; under identical timely replacement vaccination both incremental protection and incremental harm are zero. Conditional cases set Q_other=0, not as a lower-bound claim.","counterfactual":"Existing clinic workflows, electronic-record vendors, professional societies, CDC guidance and other coalitions can substitute for Immunize.org materials. Templates already online may remain available without a new gift. K must count implementation actually induced, not honor-roll enrollment, pageviews or workshop attendance. b handles funding source replacement separately. Medicare already covers seasonal flu vaccine without patient payment at participating providers; clinical access and workflow can still limit receipt. tau allows later vaccination elsewhere and dose timing. No public-payer savings are converted to health. Identical timely vaccination elsewhere has the same ordinary adverse effects: set tau=0 and h=0. Negative probes require genuinely additional ineffective or duplicate doses, not shared counterfactual harms.","attribution":"All recipient cost is retained while the conditional health calculation considers only older-adult influenza. Other vaccines, policies, translated safety information and reduced errors may matter greatly, but require separate age/pathogen-specific clinical bridges and counterfactuals. No generic vaccine QALY coefficient is applied to all output. No herd-immunity multiplier, indefinite recurring practice benefit, honor-roll causation, saved healthcare dollars or productivity is credited. Autonomy and consent concerns in policy advocacy are not erased by this narrow clinical calculation.","uncertainty":"We choose 100 otherwise-attributable practice implementations per annual cost equivalent, rather than the earlier 1,000-case probe. For scale, this is 0.2% of roughly 50,000 subscribers; subscribers are not unique practices and this is not measured conversion. The small conversion allows passive use, duplication and equivalent free guidance. A further 25% funding response allows reserves and substitution. Other vaccine health remains unpriced. Zero and adverse outcomes remain possible; the quantified pathway is not a complete portfolio valuation.","nativeOutcomes":"Observed downloads and roughly 50,000 subscribers demonstrate reach, not changed practice. The central judgment uses K=100, V=1000 and delta=.03: 3,000 additional at-visit doses per annual cost equivalent before funding response. With b=.25 and C=3247254 this is about 2.31 doses per $10,000 normalization. Each produces about .000451 net QALY before geography. The earlier 1,000-implementation alternative remains visible.","inputs":[{"name":"G","value":10000,"unit":"USD normalization","basis":"judgment","rationale":"Arithmetic only.","sourceIds":[]},{"name":"FY2025 tax functional expense","value":3181332,"unit":"USD","basis":"observed","rationale":"PartIXallfunctions; COGS excluded by tax-form convention.","sourceIds":["imm-tax25"]},{"name":"FY2025 cost of goods sold","value":65922,"unit":"USD","basis":"observed","rationale":"PartVIII 10 b andScheduleD; restored once.","sourceIds":["imm-tax25","imm-d25"]},{"name":"FY2025 donated services","value":81792,"unit":"USD recognized resource value","basis":"observed","rationale":"ScheduleDreconciliation; annualgross series includes it, support-dollar benchmark excludes it.","sourceIds":["imm-d25"]},{"name":"C","value":3247254,"unit":"USD per annual recipient scale","basis":"judgment","rationale":"3181332+65922.
