Regulators should make verifiable community accountability a concession condition. Verified concessions attract cheaper, longer capital — a fiscal case, not just a social one.
01 Executive Overview
This policy brief argues that concession conditions should require verifiable community accountability — co-signature, functioning grievance mechanisms and independent verification — as a condition of license. It sets out the regulatory design, enforcement levers and the fiscal case: verified concessions attract lower-cost, longer-duration capital.
02 Purpose
Give regulators a ready design for accountability-linked concession conditions.
03 Business Value
Aligns public license conditions with the trust signals that attract patient capital.
04 Key Insights
- License conditions are the highest-leverage point for embedding verification.
- Grievance-mechanism functionality should be audited, not assumed.
- Verified concessions can be a fiscal advantage, not just a social one.
