Monetary Velocity Gap (MVG)

The Zero-Click Economy

The Zero-Click Economy examines how AI-mediated discovery, selection, recommendation, verification, and action alter the transmission of economic signals from policy and demand to firms, assets, households, sectors, and jurisdictions. We introduce the Current Reporting-Period Hypothesis, which states that AI systems construct consideration sets from representations as they exist at inference time, not from the period the policy or demand signal was emitted. This creates Computational Transmission Attrition—policy or demand-induced signals may attenuate, misallocate, or leak before reaching intended economic targets. We formalize Dynamic Computational Risk as the interaction between exposure (dependence on AI-mediated allocation), technological velocity (rate of change in AI-mediated discovery), financial sensitivity (margin of capital, liquidity dependence), and adaptation capacity (speed of organizational response). The paper consolidates the Representation Economy measurement stack: Agent Readiness Index (ARI), Global Agent Readiness Index (GARI), Zero-Click Exposure Index (ZCEI), Platform Dependency Index (PDI), Computational Business Risk Index (CBRI), Dynamic Computational Risk Index (DCRI), Enterprise Adaptation Velocity Index (EAVI), Computable Asset Ratio (CAR), National Computable Economy Index (NCEI), Sovereign Adaptation Velocity Index (SAVI), and sovereign outputs including Compound Regional Adaptation Velocity Index (CRAVI), Global Computable Economy Index (GCEI), Sovereign Adaptation Gap (SAG), and Dynamic Monetary Sovereignty Risk Index (DMSRI).
