    Publish the instrument

    Release the MOU, annexes, financial schedule and side letters, with only narrow lawful redactions and a list explaining each one.

    Certify spare capacity in Immigration, health, courts, legal help, Police and housing, including a hurricane margin that cannot be used for routine intake.

  7. 07

    Give an independent monitor private access to people, files and accommodation. Publish case totals, costs, incidents, delays and corrective action.

  8. 08
    Make exit usable

    Keep a hard cap, immediate pause, no automatic renewal, lawful take-back or onward duties and a closure plan for every unresolved case.

  8. 08
    Scale only after design evidence

    Proceed with the first two awards after all compact gates pass; condition the second pair on transparent selection, full funding, placement, protocol, replacement coverage and independent readiness review.
