The PRICI Foundation · Transmission Economics
Thirty years of diagnosed market failures.
Zero implemented solutions.
Until now.
PRICI is the first unified, rules-based framework to address sellers’ inflation, financialisation, monopsony power, and innovation inflation simultaneously — without discretionary political intervention.

The Scale of the Problem
Capital is abundant. Productive deployment is not.
Japan, post-2008 Europe, the Middle Income Trap — the same transmission failure, different geographies, no working solution.
Sellers’ inflation. Financialisation. Monopsony power. Innovation inflation. All extensively documented in peer-reviewed literature. None solved by policy.
Antitrust moves too slowly. Tax policy is gamed. Governance reform is captured. Discretionary industrial policy produces pork-barrel outcomes.
The Framework
Rules-based. Self-executing. Free of political discretion.
PRICI measures corporate conduct across pricing, capital extraction, and productive investment — creating a deterministic score that makes extraction expensive and genuine investment rewarding.
Once calibrated, no ministerial discretion. No politically connected winners. Capital flows to verified productive use.
Modelled ROI of 35:1 to 70:1. GDP growth +0.25pp. Inflation −0.30pp. Investment +0.60pp.
PRICI scored Asda 0.78 (Penalty Zone) against John Lewis at 0.00 (Safe Harbour) — a pattern invisible to conventional metrics.
The Standard Suite
One framework. Multiple applications.
Inflationary environments. Measures pricing, extraction and investment conduct.
Zero-inflation and secular stagnation scenarios. Price component removed.
Fiscal efficiency and public capital deployment for governments and institutions.
Macro-Impedance Audit. Systemic impedance measurement at the economy level.
The theoretical foundation. Capital follows the path of least resistance; institutional friction is the binding constraint.
