Land Trust Alliance is a nonprofit network organization rather than a shareholder-owned company. That places Land Trust Alliance in the middle of Ownership: there is some mission, member, producer, or public-interest constraint, but decisive control is not fully democratic. The value stays below the top tier because the linked record does not show full democratic control, non-extractive lock-in, or complete stakeholder protection on this axis.

Land Trust Alliance describes conduct considered under Governanceation infrastructure. That places Land Trust Alliance in the middle of Governance: there are accountability mechanisms, but they stop short of broad democratic control. The value stays below the top tier because the linked record does not show full democratic control, non-extractive lock-in, or complete stakeholder protection on this axis.

Land Trust Alliance directs resources toward land-trust capacity and conservation standards rather than investor extraction. That places Land Trust Alliance high on Extraction: surplus is structurally routed toward workers, producers, users, or public benefit instead of being primarily captured upward. A still-higher or maximum value requires stronger proof that this structure is durable, broad, and not merely discretionary.

Land Trust Alliance is a professional nonprofit network, not a worker-owned institution. That places Land Trust Alliance in the middle of Labor Sovereignty: workers or participants have some protection or agency, but not enough binding power to control the relationship. The value stays below the top tier because the linked record does not show full democratic control, non-extractive lock-in, or complete stakeholder protection on this axis.

Land Trust Alliance strengthens community land-conservation capacity that can benefit people outside employment and consumer markets. That places Land Trust Alliance in the middle of Solidarity with the Unemployed: some access, severance, retraining, openness, or mutual-aid value is present, but it is not central or durable. The value stays below the top tier because the linked record does not show full democratic control, non-extractive lock-in, or complete stakeholder protection on this axis.

Land Trust Alliance bears standards, education, accreditation, and policy work that individual land trusts cannot efficiently duplicate. That places Land Trust Alliance high on Loss-Bearing Fidelity: the institution is structured to absorb real costs rather than shifting losses onto weaker parties. A still-higher or maximum value requires stronger proof that this structure is durable, broad, and not merely discretionary.

Land Trust Alliance provides standards and capacity infrastructure rather than consumer lock-in. That places Land Trust Alliance high on Market Conduct: pricing, access, switching, and bargaining practices show restraint compared with ordinary rent-seeking competitors. A still-higher or maximum value requires stronger proof that this structure is durable, broad, and not merely discretionary.

Land Trust Alliance core output is land-trust standards, accreditation support, education, and conservation capacity. That places Land Trust Alliance high on Product Integrity: the core offering is genuinely useful and comparatively less dependent on traps, degradation, or harmful dependencies. A still-higher or maximum value requires stronger proof that this structure is durable, broad, and not merely discretionary.

Land Trust Alliance scale improves field-wide stewardship practices across many local land trusts. That places Land Trust Alliance high on Scale Integrity: growth appears compatible with accountability, quality, and stakeholder benefit. A still-higher or maximum value requires stronger proof that this structure is durable, broad, and not merely discretionary.

Land Trust Alliance the organization creates or protects dissent against concentrated institutional or industrial power. That supports partial Openness to Dissent credit because people can criticize, dissent, or challenge the institution without being managed into silence. The value remains partial because the linked record does not show the practice as comprehensive, durable, or central enough for full credit.

Land Trust Alliance the organization uses rights, courts, public process, or civil-society advocacy to constrain stronger institutions. That supports partial Constitutional Spirit credit because the institution respects speech, privacy, due process, conscience, or civil-liberties norms beyond bare legal compulsion. The value remains partial because the linked record does not show the practice as comprehensive, durable, or central enough for full credit.

Land Trust Alliance and its related accreditation infrastructure publish standards and accountability materials. That supports partial Cost Transparency credit because pricing, margins, fees, funding, or surplus allocation are made meaningfully legible. The value remains partial because the linked record does not show the practice as comprehensive, durable, or central enough for full credit.
