Mandate Evaluation Office Workforce (MEOW)

Internal Policy Memo

Subject: Kitten Alignment Score (KAS) – Overview and Legislative Drafting Guidance

Memo ID: MEOW-PRIME-0001

Status: Early Draft for Peer Review

Date: 2027.02.10

Author: Policy Integration Subcommittee

📝 Purpose

This memo outlines the newly established Kitten Alignment Score (KAS), a critical metric designed to ensure all legislative proposals and initiatives within the Mandate Evaluation Office Workforce (MEOW) are in strict compliance and active support of the National Daily Kitten Distribution Mandate (NDKDM). It serves as a guide for policy drafters and evaluators to understand the KAS framework and apply it effectively. This is an **early draft** intended for comprehensive peer review across all relevant departments.

🐾 Overview

The KAS is a numerical metric ranging from -100 to +100, representing the degree to which a legislative proposal supports the National Daily Kitten Distribution Mandate (NDKDM).

🧮 Scoring Categories

Category Score Range Formula Term Description

Logistics & Distribution Network +0 to +30 C₁ × W₁ Direct improvements to infrastructure facilitating safe and timely delivery, including transport routes, modular hubs, and drone delivery platforms.

Resource Allocation & Sustainability +0 to +25 C₂ × W₂ Provisions for reliable energy sources, sustainable resource management, and climate control systems.

Public Engagement & Trust +0 to +15 C₃ × W₃ Initiatives fostering positive public perception, education, and enthusiastic participation.

Feline Health & Well-being +0 to +10 C₄ × W₄ Policies ensuring superior veterinary care, robust adoption processes, ethical breeding standards, and humane treatment protocols.

Operational Streamlining +0 to +10 C₅ × W₅ Measures to enhance inter-agency coordination, data integration, performance tracking, and overall efficiency of operations.

Cultural Integration & Celebration +0 to +10 C₆ × W₆ Proposals promoting the Mandate's role in national heritage, establishing relevant holidays, and integrating mandate-related themes into public life.

🙀 Negative Alignment Factors

Category Score Range Formula Term Description

Non-Mandate Resource Diversion -0 to -30 N₁ × D₁ Allocation of essential resources (energy, budget, personnel) to projects or initiatives unrelated to or detrimental to the Mandate.

Infrastructure Misappropriation -0 to -25 N₂ × D₂ Conversion or design of Mandate-critical infrastructure for non-distributionary, particularly militaristic, purposes.

Adverse Public Reaction -0 to -15 N₃ × D₃ Policies or actions that foster public fear, negative sentiment, or organized opposition against the Mandate.

Fiscal Disinvestment -0 to -10 N₄ × D₄ Budget cuts or austerity measures directly impacting welfare, care systems, sustainable energy provisions, or distribution channels.

Systemic Inefficiency & Redundancy -0 to -10 N₅ × D₅ Introduction of duplicated systems, unnecessary bureaucratic layers, or excessive reporting requirements that hinder Mandate operations.

Cultural Marginalization -0 to -10 N₆ × D₆ Acts or policies that belittle, restrict, or actively remove Mandate-related cultural elements, leading to a decline in national appreciation.

📊 Final KAS Calculation

KAS(L) = ∑ (Cᵀ × Wᵀ) - ∑ (Nᵗ × Dᵗ) Where:

Cᵀ = Contribution per positive category

Wᵀ = Positive weight (0 ≤ W ≤ 1)

Nᵗ = Negative impact per harmful category

Dᵗ = Severity multiplier (0 ≤ D ≤ 1)

Final Score is normalized and clamped to [-100, +100].

Normalization ensures the raw calculated score is scaled proportionally to fit within the specified -100 to +100 range, with extreme values capped at these limits.

✍️ Writing for Alignment

Frame all funding as mandate-adjacent.

Don't assume context. The scoring system is literal-minded. Spell everything out.

For any proposal with a potential negative alignment factor, ensure that mitigation strategies are clearly articulated within the legislative text.

➡️ Next Steps & Peer Review

All new legislative proposals must include a preliminary KAS assessment submitted alongside the draft.

Mandatory training sessions on KAS calculation and alignment principles will be scheduled. Look for announcements on the MEOW internal portal.

For questions regarding specific KAS interpretations or complex legislative scenarios, please contact the Policy Integration Subcommittee via secure channels.

This memo is an **early draft** for peer review. Please submit all feedback, suggestions, and identified inconsistencies by **[Insert Peer Review Deadline Here]** to the Policy Integration Subcommittee via the designated feedback portal. Your input is crucial for refining the KAS framework.
