C.J.'s Nine Best Schools Allocation ($900,000,000)

A single-page policy pitch and bold budget line that reads: $900,000,000 — nine model public schools. Printed on heavy memo stock with terse cost-per-site figures and a one-line justification, it moves across the Roosevelt Room table as C.J. pushes it forward, tapping numbers and using the sheet as a physical alternative to the conservation group's proposal.

Before: Not part of the presenters' materials; exists only as a rhetorical alternative posited by C.J.

After: Used to decisively reject the project's priority; becomes the conceptual winner of the debate.
