Part 5/14:
The speaker envisions integrating the EAI alongside traditional KPIs—GDP, inflation, confidence, and employment—into a comprehensive dashboard called TLDDR (Total Local Demand and Demand Resilience).
This tool would reveal ownership-based demand capacity, unveiling demand hidden beneath conventional metrics.
It allows policy agility, enabling interventions from national to street level—adjusting interest rates, property policies, local ownership initiatives, and more.
Crucially, this approach highlights the risk of relying solely on traditional indicators, which often obscure the actual demand capacity of households, especially as automation shifts income away from wages.
