Temporal Misalignment Calculator
Quantify the gap between market time preferences (quarters) and real value creation timelines (decades). Understand how short-termism destroys long-term value.
Analysis Parameters
Markets evaluate this sector 13× faster than value can be created. Traditional financing will systematically underinvest.
Misalignment by Industry
Value Realization vs Market Pressure
Red line shows accumulated pressure from quarterly reporting cycles. Green shows actual value creation. The gap between them is where projects get cancelled prematurely.
The Temporal Misalignment Problem
Climate Tech has a misalignment coefficient of 12.5×, meaning markets make 12 evaluation cycles before value fully materializes. Each cycle creates pressure to show returns, leading to premature project termination. PSC addresses this by removing the extractive return requirement entirely—capital can remain patient because beneficiaries recycle it forward, not back to investors.
