Benefit: Environmental and social cost inclusion.

Market externalities like greenhouse gases, urban blight and cancer were said to be "non-excludable", meaning we cannot charge for them, but Sapiens plurum has changed that situation so that including these costs can become the norm, via new "B-corporation" structures.

Sensor networks, massive databases and large-scale statistical techniques mean that Sapiens plurum can now attribute costs to former externalities. The linked paper is a tentative proposal for how externalities might be monetized for full-cost accounting. This is the type of accounting embraced by B corporaitons, aka triple-bottom-line corporations.
