Who it is for

The person this was built for

Somebody who has concluded that something is seriously wrong, has read enough to be confident about it, and has run out of things to do. They are not short of opinions or of outrage. They are short of a mechanism — a way to convert being right into something that changes.

If you have ever closed a thread thinking "fine, but what do I actually do about it", this was built for that moment.

It also works for

People who want to check a specific claim. Clone the record, read the file, argue with the source. You never have to join anything.

People deciding how to vote. Look up your own seats, read what those people actually did in office, and look at who is running against them and what they have said at length.

People who want to contribute a skill. Sourcing, drafting, transcribing, organizing, and code are all real contributions, and all of them are logged and credited.

Researchers and journalists. The record is public, provenanced, and version-controlled. You can see what we changed and when.

Who will be disappointed

Anybody looking for a side. The awards are computed from the public record with no party term anywhere. All four party front doors read from that one pipeline; a door can speak to its own audience in its own language, but none of them re-weights a number. If you came hoping the arithmetic would agree with you about your own side, it will not know which side that is.

Anybody who wants certainty. A great deal of this product is about deciding without it — Pillar 4 exists precisely because some of the record is withheld on purpose. What the app gives you is a visible chain with its gaps named, not proof.

Anybody who wants it done for them. The app will not tell you what to think. It records what you think, checks whether it follows, and shows you where it is thin.

The two personas the product actually has

Citizen — you. Login is optional on your own machine; you can read and reason as an anonymous default user forever. Identity starts to matter only when you join a community or publish.

Admin — the people who steward communities and configure an install. Approval authority lives here, and nowhere else. No amount of citizen standing ever buys it.
