Universal Income & Population-Scale Eligibility Programs

Governance infrastructure for large-scale public benefit programs

Granullo provides governance infrastructure for population-scale income programs such as guaranteed income pilots, universal basic income (UBI) initiatives, and large-scale welfare programs. The platform governs eligibility rules, policy versions, and decision audit trails • while external systems handle identity verification, eligibility determination, and fund disbursement.

What Problem This Solves

Trust deficit in large-scale welfare • public skepticism about fairness, transparency, and political influence
Policy drift over time • long-running programs accumulate changes that obscure original intent
Audit opacity • proving compliance with governing rules becomes impossible without systematic governance
Political interference • ad-hoc policy changes without governance records create vulnerability to bias accusations

Governance Boundaries

What Granullo Does

✓Record eligibility rule definitions and constraints
✓Version all policy documents with immutable history
✓Log decision rationale references (not decisions themselves)
✓Maintain transparent governance change control
✓Enable public and auditor visibility into rule evolution
✓Preserve intent declarations for each program phase

What Granullo Does NOT Do

✗Determine who is eligible (external identity systems do this)
✗Send, hold, or process any funds
✗Store personal beneficiary data (PII)
✗Make enrollment or disenrollment decisions
✗Score, rank, or prioritize beneficiaries
✗Execute payments or settlements

External Systems Execute

→Identity Verification: Government ID systems verify beneficiary identity
→Eligibility Engine: External rules engine evaluates eligibility criteria
→Payment Rails: Regulated banks execute fund disbursement
→Tax Authority: Handles tax implications and reporting
→Social Registry: Maintains beneficiary enrollment records
