Question+ Model
How are decisions made?Designed and run by federal and Manitoba governments as a research programme; households applied and were paid by a field office.Unknown
How are conflicts resolved?Administrative income verification; no participant role in governance.Unknown
How are public goods funded?Federal–provincial funding of income guarantees with 35–75% benefit-reduction rates; produced a research dataset later made public.Unknown
How is AI used?No AI role.Unknown
What are the main risks?Political termination before analysis; dependence on the governments that launched it; confusion between negative income tax and universal basic income.Unknown

This illustrates differences in design; it is not a universal claim about outcomes. Each cell links to mechanisms and the claims behind them.
