Energy Grid Audit Stage · MARLOWE Certification™

Gate II: Nodal Mapping

The forensic accounting engine of MARLOWE Certification™: node mapping, Administrative Delta, and Ghost Load detection.

Gate II: Nodal Mapping

Gate II converts the timing/audit posture into forensic accounting. It maps user inputs, bills, receipts, ledgers, utility records, lease charges, and other evidence against the 186-node manifest to identify Administrative Delta™ and Ghost Load™.

Stage status: Completed / operational logic-mapped.

Mathematical logic

Eᵣ = (C_actual − C_base) / C_base

C_actual is the total amount paid by the Sovereign Human. C_base is the verified baseline cost of the commodity or service before extraction. If the delta is positive, the variance is classified as Ghost Load.
