Huilloc Village
Peru
Huilloc Village is strongest on Population Capacity 10/10 — The current community is documented at roughly 1,500 residents with housing and services, vastly exceeding the twenty-person reference group's physical and social capacity threshold.. Its clearest scored constraint is Defensibility 2/10 — Huilloc is an open living village rather than a fortified compound. Mountain slopes and a constrained valley help locally, but numerous homes, fields and internal paths create a broad perimeter that twenty people cannot comprehensively defend..

Bottom Line
For the fixed 20-person Base boundary, the most important endurance constraint is Maintenance Resilience 7/10 — Traditional homes, communal labour, farming and livestock, and locally administered water and sanitation reduce dependence on highly specialised systems. Electricity and modern services still require maintenance, preventing a higher near-autonomous score..
Biggest Trade-off
The central trade-off is the catalogue's strongest evidenced dimension, Population Capacity at 10/10, against its weakest evidenced dimension, Defensibility at 2/10.
Most Likely Failure
The clearest evidenced failure pressure is Maintenance Resilience: Traditional homes, communal labour, farming and livestock, and locally administered water and sanitation reduce dependence on highly specialised systems. Electricity and modern services still require maintenance, preventing a higher near-autonomous score.
Score rationale
Why it scores this way
Defensibility · 2/10
Huilloc is an open living village rather than a fortified compound. Mountain slopes and a constrained valley help locally, but numerous homes, fields and internal paths create a broad perimeter that twenty people cannot comprehensively defend.
Advantages
- Positive credit is limited to what supports the Defensibility score of 2/10; the component rationale is: Huilloc is an open living village rather than a fortified compound. Mountain slopes and a constrained valley help locally, but numerous homes, fields and internal paths create a broad perimeter that twenty people cannot comprehensively defend.
Limitations
- Do not infer additional Defensibility capability outside the fixed Base boundary or beyond the recorded evidence.
Isolation · 4/10
A high-altitude setting and 19 km rough-road final approach provide useful separation, but Huilloc is only about 35 minutes from Ollantaytambo and contains around 1,500 residents inside the canonical settlement. It is moderately rather than strongly isolated.
Advantages
- Positive credit is limited to what supports the Isolation score of 4/10; the component rationale is: A high-altitude setting and 19 km rough-road final approach provide useful separation, but Huilloc is only about 35 minutes from Ollantaytambo and contains around 1,500 residents inside the canonical settlement. It is moderately rather than strongly isolated.
Limitations
- Do not infer additional Isolation capability outside the fixed Base boundary or beyond the recorded evidence.
Sustainability · 8/10
A large current residential community with potable water, electricity, sanitation, lodging, local food preparation, agriculture and livestock provides mature day-to-day habitat for far more than twenty people.
Advantages
- Positive credit is limited to what supports the Sustainability score of 8/10; the component rationale is: A large current residential community with potable water, electricity, sanitation, lodging, local food preparation, agriculture and livestock provides mature day-to-day habitat for far more than twenty people.
Limitations
- Do not infer additional Sustainability capability outside the fixed Base boundary or beyond the recorded evidence.
Survival horizons
How survival changes over time
First 7 days: current defence/contact profile
First 7 Days
This horizon does not invent future upgrades or resupply. It carries the current evaluated conditions forward and keeps unknown future capability uncredited.
Positive factors
- The stronger current condition in this horizon is Exposure Control 6/10 — The mountain-valley setting and rough-road approach make major arrivals observable and somewhat channelled, but the open agricultural settlement has many local paths and no fortified controlled perimeter..
Risks
- The weaker current condition in this horizon is Defensibility 2/10 — Huilloc is an open living village rather than a fortified compound. Mountain slopes and a constrained valley help locally, but numerous homes, fields and internal paths create a broad perimeter that twenty people cannot comprehensively defend.; no better future state is assumed.
First 100 days: current habitat/capacity profile
First 100 Days
This horizon does not invent future upgrades or resupply. It carries the current evaluated conditions forward and keeps unknown future capability uncredited.
Positive factors
- The stronger current condition in this horizon is Population Capacity 10/10 — The current community is documented at roughly 1,500 residents with housing and services, vastly exceeding the twenty-person reference group's physical and social capacity threshold..
Risks
- The weaker current condition in this horizon is Sustainability 8/10 — A large current residential community with potable water, electricity, sanitation, lodging, local food preparation, agriculture and livestock provides mature day-to-day habitat for far more than twenty people.; no better future state is assumed.
Long term: current resource/maintenance profile
Long Term
This horizon does not invent future upgrades or resupply. It carries the current evaluated conditions forward and keeps unknown future capability uncredited.
Positive factors
- The stronger current condition in this horizon is Maintenance Resilience 7/10 — Traditional homes, communal labour, farming and livestock, and locally administered water and sanitation reduce dependence on highly specialised systems. Electricity and modern services still require maintenance, preventing a higher near-autonomous score..
Risks
- The weaker current condition in this horizon is Maintenance Resilience 7/10 — Traditional homes, communal labour, farming and livestock, and locally administered water and sanitation reduce dependence on highly specialised systems. Electricity and modern services still require maintenance, preventing a higher near-autonomous score.; no better future state is assumed.
Tactical assessment
Practical Reality
Reality Check
Scores apply only to the defined Base and exactly 20 capable adults. Unknown, excluded or external assets are not credited as hidden capability.
Best Use
Within the evaluated boundary, treat Population Capacity as the primary operational strength; do not promote that score into capabilities the evidence does not establish.
Key Risk
Maintenance Resilience is the key evidenced long-duration risk: Traditional homes, communal labour, farming and livestock, and locally administered water and sanitation reduce dependence on highly specialised systems. Electricity and modern services still require maintenance, preventing a higher near-autonomous score.
Strengths
- One of the strongest scored dimensions is Population Capacity 10/10 — The current community is documented at roughly 1,500 residents with housing and services, vastly exceeding the twenty-person reference group's physical and social capacity threshold..
- One of the strongest scored dimensions is Sustainability 8/10 — A large current residential community with potable water, electricity, sanitation, lodging, local food preparation, agriculture and livestock provides mature day-to-day habitat for far more than twenty people..
- One of the strongest scored dimensions is Maintenance Resilience 7/10 — Traditional homes, communal labour, farming and livestock, and locally administered water and sanitation reduce dependence on highly specialised systems. Electricity and modern services still require maintenance, preventing a higher near-autonomous score..
Weaknesses
- One of the weakest scored dimensions is Defensibility 2/10 — Huilloc is an open living village rather than a fortified compound. Mountain slopes and a constrained valley help locally, but numerous homes, fields and internal paths create a broad perimeter that twenty people cannot comprehensively defend..
- One of the weakest scored dimensions is Isolation 4/10 — A high-altitude setting and 19 km rough-road final approach provide useful separation, but Huilloc is only about 35 minutes from Ollantaytambo and contains around 1,500 residents inside the canonical settlement.

Assumptions / constraints
- Only assets inside the recorded Core Base and immediate operating boundary are credited; excluded surroundings and unproven future access remain outside the score.
