Weighted Allocation (Goal-Task)

Definition

Splitting a task's cost across the several goals it serves, with explicit percentages summing to 100% per task — so money is conserved.

Formula

Goal cost = Σ over tasks (task cost x weight to that goal)

Worked Example

Goals: G1 'Launch in EU', G2 'SOC 2 compliance'.

Task                        Cost     ->G1   ->G2
T1 Data-residency storage  $9,000     60%    40%
T2 Audit-logging service   $5,000     20%    80%
T3 EU payment integration  $6,500    100%     0%

G1 = .6x9,000 + .2x5,000 + 1.0x6,500 = $12,900
G2 = .4x9,000 + .8x5,000 + 0        =  $7,600

Check: $12,900 + $7,600 = $20,500 = total task cost  (conserved)

Interpretation & Pitfalls

Weights that don't sum to 100% silently leak or duplicate money — enforce the constraint in software, not in policy.

Goal-task links (Layer 4) carry the weights; the sum-to-100% rule is enforced at write time.
