Contribute
Founding-phase contribution pathway for the Planetary Integrity Foundation.
01
Purpose
The Planetary Integrity Foundation is being built as a public-interest initiative for open, reviewable decision integrity.
Contribution at this stage is not a general membership program, a public volunteer campaign or an employment process. It is a controlled founding-phase pathway for people and institutions able to strengthen the protocol, governance model, evidence structure, technical architecture and public-interest credibility of the initiative.
02
Who this is for
The initiative is looking for serious contributors aligned with open decision integrity and accountable human governance.
Relevant contributor profiles may include:
- systems thinkers;
- governance experts;
- AI safety and AI governance specialists;
- climate, infrastructure, public policy and risk experts;
- legal and institutional design advisors;
- data, evidence and model governance specialists;
- researchers in complex systems and decision science;
- technologists able to build transparent and reviewable tools;
- institutions interested in open public-interest assessment methods.
03
Contribution principles
Contribution must strengthen independence, coherence and trust.
- 01
1. Public-interest alignment
Contributors must support the purpose of improving consequence visibility before material decisions become irreversible commitments.
- 02
2. Independence
Contribution must not compromise the independence or public-interest orientation of the initiative.
- 03
3. Evidence discipline
Ideas, claims and proposals should be grounded in traceable reasoning, sources, assumptions and uncertainty.
- 04
4. Human accountability
Contributors must accept that AI supports analysis but does not replace accountable human and institutional judgment.
- 05
5. Controlled openness
The initiative welcomes scrutiny and contribution, but participation must be structured to preserve coherence, quality and trust.
- 06
6. No authority claims
Contribution does not imply representation, endorsement, certification, governance authority or institutional partnership unless explicitly agreed in writing.
04
Contribution areas
The founding phase needs contribution in six areas.
- 01
Protocol development
Improving the Planetary Decision Integrity Protocol, its terminology, assessment flow, versioning rules and review logic.
- 02
Governance design
Defining independence safeguards, conflict-of-interest controls, contribution rules, review procedures and publication principles.
- 03
Consequence Intelligence
Supporting the design of methods for identifying systemic effects, trade-offs, uncertainty and cross-domain dependencies.
- 04
Evidence and model traceability
Designing structures for source records, assumptions, model limitations, uncertainty disclosure and reviewable reasoning.
- 05
Kairo architecture
Supporting the responsible design of Kairo as a planned Consequence Intelligence engine, with clear limits on AI authority.
- 06
Public communication
Helping translate complex institutional and technical concepts into language that remains accurate, sober and accessible.
05
How contribution should work
The contribution pathway should remain controlled at founding phase.
- 01
Initial conversation
A contributor starts with a serious institutional, technical or advisory conversation.
- 02
Fit assessment
The founding team assesses alignment, expertise, independence risks and relevance to the current roadmap.
- 03
Defined contribution scope
Accepted contribution should be linked to a defined topic, document, review, prototype, governance question or institutional need.
- 04
Review and integration
Contributions are reviewed before being integrated into public materials, protocol drafts, governance documents or technical work.
- 05
Attribution and boundaries
Attribution, confidentiality and representation must be agreed explicitly. Participation must not be interpreted as partnership, endorsement or institutional approval unless expressly confirmed.
06
What contribution does not mean
At this stage, contributing does not mean:
These boundaries protect the integrity of the initiative and the contributors themselves.
- joining a legally incorporated body;
- becoming an official representative;
- holding governance authority;
- certifying assessments;
- approving protocol versions;
- speaking on behalf of the foundation;
- creating a partnership;
- implying endorsement;
- receiving employment or compensation;
- obtaining access to confidential systems;
- directing the roadmap.
07
Current contribution priorities
The current priorities are:
- review of the Planetary Decision Integrity Protocol;
- refinement of the Governance Model;
- definition of contributor admission rules;
- development of conflict-of-interest procedures;
- review of Decision Integrity Check structure;
- AI authority-limit design for Kairo;
