Cope Analysis
The Structural Reality Being Avoided
Fitch Ratings provides a lucid, balanced acknowledgment of AI-driven labour displacement and tax base erosion risks in developed economies. This is institutional analysis that names structural issues directly rather than denying, deflecting, or engaging in fantasy economics. Score low because Fitch is not engaging in cope—it's reporting structural risks from a credit analysis perspective. The 'but' framing is balanced but not dismissive.
