The official Equity Analysis Toolkit is not this hub’s invention. It is how the Equity Policy is supposed to be done. This lesson does not replace the User Guide. It names the failure mode: attach after, blend the who, skip the date.

Open the guided tutorial in this hub when you need the walkthrough. This title is why you open it before the lock.

Five moves that are not optional

Name who is affected — including if a Nation is affected (then consultation).
Look at the data you have. Write the gap or write that it is missing.
Hear the people who use the process, not only the owners.
Write benefits and burdens — who pays.
Date an owner. A toolkit without a Tuesday is a poster.
