Collaborate
Join Us in Building
We are in the research and design phase, developing examination methodologies, measurement frameworks, and institutional protocols. We seek collaborators who believe in governance engineering.
Research Phase: Years 1-2
We are currently designing the infrastructure: examination methodologies, SMI measurement frameworks, audit protocols, and the Jan Karya civic platform. This is foundational work that requires deep thinking, not mass participation.
Who We're Looking For
We need people who understand this is a 30-year project, not a quick fix. Those comfortable with data and evidence over rhetoric. Individuals willing to work without immediate visibility or reward.

Support the Research
We are not yet accepting donations. When contributions open (timing TBA), the funding model will be:
Future Funding Model
- •Maximum Rs. 10,000 per person per year — prevents any single donor from having disproportionate influence
