Not in MY Backyard
A process simulator for cumulative burdenA housing plan enters as a package of lift balloons and drag particles. Great projects start with many positives and no drag; normal projects carry some friction; bad projects begin with too little lift and too much Cost, Ugly, Fatigue, and Slowdown.
Features lift, drag weighs, concessions pop balloonsviability = lift balloons - drag particles - process burden
Normal Project under 0. No Gates, Check each gate: 84 homes enter review. Current state is In process, 84 homes, 2 drag particles, 0 months delay.
Current planIn process
Many positives, with cost and slowdown already attached.Only the starting package acts on the plan: enough lift carries it across, too much drag crashes it.After each gate, a too-heavy or too-diminished plan can terminate before later gates.

The example is now a declarative gauntlet.
The page supplies data, positive and negative property definitions, gate definitions, and gate events. GauntletChart turns those declarations into core bodies, lift balloons, drag particles, gate regions, pops, route state, and event state.
The failure mode switch separates physical failure, per-gate checkpoint failure, and the original end-only outcome check. That lets the same plan either crash when the particles pull it down, stop at the first failed gate, or run every gate before the final decision.
