GRIFTResidents who change their own rules from their own results.
Every few days a San Verano resident looks back at its own money in the city's books — wages, rent, what it spent, what the casino took, the door that turned it away — and decides whether to change the rules it plans its days by. A deterministic validator decides whether the change may stand. Every later plan is held to it, and the days that follow are measured against a matched resident who never changes.
Did their decisions change?
The pilot and its matched control, before any change and after the first one, over the same days. A control resident does the same work, started with about the same cash and is planned by the same model with the same instructions; only the pilot carries a strategy of its own.
The two halves, before and after
Discretionary: what a day's own decisions moved — a venue's spend, the casino's net, what was bought at a stall. Wages, rent and the tax are not in it.
The plans that followed a change
Every change, against its own control
Each row is one adopted change: the resident's days before it against the days after, less its control's change over the same days — a difference in differences. Positive is better for the resident.
The pilot residents
Each one's strategy as it stands. Choose one for every version: the evidence it cited, the rule it set itself, what it expected, how the days after were judged, and its days beside its control's.

What a strategy may hold, what decides whether a change stands, and what stops it. None of it is the agents' to change.
The ledger
Every enrolment, reflection, adoption, refusal, judgement, rollback and breaker line, as the city's books carry them.
