Vision
Private pilot
Contribution before capital. Ledger before gut feel.
Contributors makes critical trust and expert capabilities visible as scoped missions without becoming an open job marketplace.
The pilot stays concierge-led: initiators state demand, Contributors structures charter, evidence, and Contribution Points, humans decide.
Why now
Tim's own side projects are technically far enough, but blocked by legal, review, GTM, beta, and narrative gaps. That blockage is the product proof.
Public audit summary
Short public framing. Internal notes and reviewer comments stay in the audit case.
- Audit status
- B - Curated Beta
- Contribution readiness
- DACH platform counsel and 6 secondary ask contexts are structured for curated contribution review.

- Human gate
- Contributors was human-reviewed as a static beta read-model baseline; AI scorecards remain non-binding.
- Counsel review remains visible in the Legal Gate before broad beta.
Structured ask list
Lead ask first, followed by secondary missions with capability, status, evidence, and value.

counsel-dach-platformLead askCounsel reviewIn review
DACH platform counsel
Initial legal review for charter, contributor agreement, Mission Value, CP ledger, dispute basics, and closed DACH pilot.
- Why now
- Without the counsel gate, the pilot could be misread as a work or marketplace platform.
- Format
- Two to three focused review sessions plus annotated documents and a stop/go list.
- Not meant as
- Not a marketplace setup, open tender, or quick terms-of-service polish.
- Owner
- Samira Keller
- Participation
- Counsel and compensation frame to be scoped separately; CP only records contribution
- Legal status
- Counsel review required before any binding next step

Architecture / maturity
The umbrella that turns the other projects into real demand instead of demo content.
Auth baseline, app shell, project overview, missions and ledger mock, compliance badges.
Counsel decision, contributor agreement, mission template review, initial reviewer pool.
Next.js web, API, domain events, ledger projection, and compliance components are visible; the missing layer is the legally clean pilot frame.
Copy must stay closed, controlled, and auditable; it must not sound like recruiting, a marketplace, or a token sale.
