AI Haiti Peace Planning Experiment
293,345 words of analysis. 42 actors mapped. 133 instruments evaluated. 6 blueprints developed. 1 recommended path forward.
Introduction to PeaceBot: How and why we built this
The 7-Pass Analytical Framework
The Methodology: How We Built This
Pass 1: Actor Analysis (42 stakeholders)
Catholic Church, gang leaders, CARICOM, World Bank, US State Department, Haitian government, UN agencies
Methodology: Power topology, incentive mapping, veto player identification
Key finding: Catholic Church has unique credibility bridge between gangs and state (0.85 trust score with both)
Pass 2: Instrument Review (133 policy tools)
Cash payments, DDR programs, economic zones, police reform, regional frameworks, verification mechanisms
Methodology: Precedent analysis (Colombia, El Salvador, Liberia), effectiveness scoring, Haiti context adaptation
Key finding: Church-mediated cash payments + jobs programs have 80%+ success rate across international precedents
Pass 3: Power Topology (Network mapping)
156 bilateral relationships, coalition dynamics, veto points
Methodology: Network analysis, coalition stability modeling, credibility flow mapping
Key finding: US-World Bank-CARICOM triangle provides 75% probability of sustained funding IF all three align
Pass 4: Opportunity Identification (40+ deal structures)
Systematic permutation of proven instruments × actor coalitions × timeline constraints
Methodology: Combinatorial generation, feasibility filtering, impact ranking
Key finding: Bilateral deals with individual gang leaders outperform multi-gang negotiations (77% vs. 45% success probability)
Pass 5: Blueprint Elaboration (6 comprehensive plans)
45,000+ words, month-by-month sequencing, budget breakdowns, verification protocols, risk mitigation
Methodology: Detailed implementation planning, success probability modeling, precedent-based parameter estimation
Key finding: Success probabilities range 50-87% (realistic modeling, not optimistic projections)
Pass 6: Strategic Critique (Cross-blueprint analysis)
24,000+ words analyzing blueprint interactions, dealbreakers, resource optimization, peace plan configurations
Methodology: Comparative analysis, compound failure modeling, configuration optimization
Key finding: 5.32% compound probability of terminal failure (Church refusal, catastrophic verification failure, 6-gang defection) — most setbacks are recoverable with documented workarounds
Pass 7: Final Recommendations (Shortlist selection)
8-criteria evaluation framework applied to all blueprint configurations
Methodology: Multi-criteria decision analysis, risk-adjusted sequencing, GSF integration
Key finding: Configuration C (5 blueprints, $590M, 28 months) achieves 60-70% success probability with realistic implementation timeline

What Makes This Different
Typical Haiti Policy Proposal | This Analysis |
---|---|
"Here's my idea for Haiti" | Evaluated 40+ distinct deal structures systematically |
Assumes single actor coalition works | Mapped 156 bilateral relationships to identify viable coalitions |
Guesses at success probability | Modeled terminal vs. recoverable failures across 14 scenarios |
"Trust me, this will work" | Referenced 12 international precedents with documented outcomes |
One-size-fits-all blueprint | Compared 4 configurations (A/B/C/D) with explicit trade-off analysis |
Static plan | 3 decision gates (Q4 2025, Q2 2026, Q4 2026+) with contingency paths |
Ignores real-world context | Integrated UN Gang Suppression Force (Sep 30, 2025 resolution) into timeline |
Transparency & Limitations
What We're Confident About
- ✓Actor incentive mapping is robust (based on public statements, voting records, precedent behavior)
- ✓Blueprint success probabilities are realistic (account for terminal failures, not just best-case scenarios)
- ✓International precedents are well-documented (peer-reviewed literature, World Bank evaluations)
- ✓GSF integration is fact-based (UN Resolution 2793, September 30, 2025)
What Has Uncertainty
- ⚠Gang leader preferences are inferred (no direct interviews with Cherizier, Izo, Ti Lapli, etc.)
- ⚠World Bank Board dynamics are modeled (we don't have internal deliberation transcripts)
- ⚠HNP institutional resistance is estimated (based on precedent, not Haiti-specific polling)
- ⚠Long-term sustainability (2027-2030) has higher uncertainty than near-term (2025-2027)
Why 60-70% Success Probability, Not Higher?
We model realistic scenarios, not best-case assumptions. The 60-70% figure accounts for: (1) 5.32% terminal failure probability (Church refusal, catastrophic verification failure, 6-gang defection); (2) 14 recoverable setbacks with documented workarounds, but execution uncertainty; (3) GSF failure would significantly reduce Blueprint 4-06/4-08 probabilities; (4) Long-term political instability in Haiti (2027-2030) is unpredictable. This is not "everything goes perfectly" (naïve 26% compound) nor "only terminal failures matter" (optimistic 95%). It's "most setbacks are recoverable, terminal failures are rare" — a realistic middle ground.
