Capital cost is not assumed — it is inferred from two orthogonal drivers: the risk exposure ratio (ρ) and the performance efficiency potential (Ω), including a project-level Alignment Efficiency Index cos(α). The result is a closed-form expression for capital capacity  X = 2.ρ.Ω that becomes measurable from live financial behavior. This allows budgets to be dynamically recalibrated as the project evolves — not after damage occurs — enabling predictive control, not post-mortem accounting. In effect, this work converts risk from an administrative spreadsheet concept into a measurable engineering dynamic state variable.
