Which economic regime are you actually operating in?
The Judgment Potential Evaluation places you, or your organisation, inside the economic regime that best describes how judgment currently moves through your work. Not how you describe it. How it actually moves.
Most organisations and professionals believe they are already inside the Judgment Economy. Most are still inside the Information Era regimes it would replace. The evaluation tells you which, and what to do about it.
Two tracks. Six questions. One placement.
The evaluation runs in two tracks. Pick the one that fits who is answering. Both produce a placement that names the regime you are actually operating in, and routes you to the brief written for that situation.
Two regimes. Six economies in one, one proposed in the other.
The Information Era has produced six named economies so far. Each one has a container. The Judgment Economy would be the seventh, and it is the container this project proposes to build. Every organisation and every professional currently operates inside one or the other. The evaluation tells you which.
Inside the Containerised Information Era
Six regimes within the Information Era already have containers. Each one still works, and each one carries a cost for judgment that wants to move through it.
- Desktop Economy. Personal computing trust. Software runs on your machine, at a price you can own, but files and formats still determine what travels.
- Cloud Economy. Compute sits on someone else’s infrastructure. Portable only within their pricing and their terms.
- Data Economy. Signal is aggregated and sold, but the producer cannot see what is being sold or to whom.
- Creator Economy. Voice is trusted because the platform vouches for it, not because the work is independently referenceable.
- Platform Economy. Reputation is priced by the platform, and does not travel past its boundary.
- Attention Economy. Engagement is the currency. Verification of who actually attended remains partial.
Inside the Judgment Economy
The Judgment Economy does not yet exist as a settled fact. It is a proposal, and it is what the evaluation tests readiness for. It is delivered through six parameters.
- Classification. Judgment is placed in a category that others can look up, not guess at.
- Provenance. Every piece of judgment carries a lineage that both sides can verify.
- Evidence. The reasoning behind an output is part of the output, not implied by the author.
- Context. Every placement carries what it applies to, and what it does not.
- Accountability. A named party is answerable for acting on the judgment.
- Recourse. There is a defined mechanism if the judgment turns out to be wrong.
The evaluation does not ask what regime you believe you are operating in. It asks six observable-signal questions. The placement that comes back is the regime your work is actually running inside, based on evidence, not intention.
Four placements. Four briefs. One decision.
The evaluation returns one of four placements. Each corresponds to a specific regime, a specific readiness, and a specific document written for that situation.
Settled in the Old Regime
You are operating inside a containerised Information Era economy, and the readiness conditions for the Judgment Economy are not yet present in your work. The next step is to understand the pattern before considering a move.
Read the Historical Foundation → Old Regime · Readiness HighReady but Not Converted
You have the readiness conditions in place, but you are still operating inside an older regime. The next step is conversion: turning readiness into an operating position inside the container.
Read the Experts Brief → Judgment Economy · Readiness ThinContainer Present, Readiness Thin
You are operating inside an early form of the Judgment Economy, but without the supporting infrastructure the container requires. The next step is to build the foundation, not scale the application.
See the Standards Body → Judgment Economy · Readiness HighOperating in the Judgment Economy
You are already running inside the container, with the readiness conditions in place. The next step is to formalise the position and claim the reference role in your market or region.

Trust Port 1 in the wider container.
The Judgment Potential Evaluation is Trust Port 1 of the three Trust Ports. It is the value layer: the instrument that establishes which regime a reader is operating in, and what the next move is. The other two Trust Ports do different work, and the container only becomes real when all three are in place.
ContextOS
The diagnostic layer. The Judgment Potential Evaluation on this page places a reader inside an economic regime. The ContextOS demo at /os/app/ places an organisation inside a friction map. Two instruments, one Trust Port.
You are here → Trust Port 2 · Trust-as-InfrastructureThe Acacia Initiative Trust
The standards body being constituted. It holds the container standard in public, so that placements produced at Trust Port 1 can travel across institutions that do not know each other.
See the Standard → Trust Port 3 · Trust-as-ProductThe Product Port
The commercial layer. Where classified judgment becomes a working product a market can use and pay for. ContextFA, in financial advisory, is the first demonstration.
Explore the Product Port →The Judgment Potential Evaluation and ContextOS are not the same tool.
The Judgment Potential Evaluation, on this page, places a reader, or an organisation, inside the economic regime their work is actually running inside. The ContextOS demo at greendevex.com/os/app/ is a different instrument: it maps organisational friction inside a single organisation, using the classification architecture. Both sit on Trust Port 1. Neither replaces the other. If you arrived here expecting the ContextOS friction diagnostic, the demo is at greendevex.com/os/app/.
