Strategic Framework
We do not treat issues in isolation. We work in complex systems, where outcomes emerge from relationships, incentives, power, and feedback loops. These five foundational lenses are living tools that we continually refine through practice and learning, helping us see the system clearly and act with communities to create change that is durable, resilient, and just.
Foundational Lenses
These are our methodologies. The "operating system" we use to decode complexity.
Public-interest governance for AI, data, and digital infrastructure that protects rights and builds trust.
ExploreDeploying capital in ways that shift underlying conditions, aligning investment structures with long-term resilience and justice.
ExploreBuilding the connective tissue of collaboration, deep democracy, and shared stewardship across sectors and regions.
ExploreTurning fragmented insights into shared learning and coordinated action through living, mycelial knowledge flows.
ExploreWorking with uncertainty, feedback loops, and emergence to strengthen systems that can learn, adapt, and endure.
ExploreImpact Verticals
The domains where we apply our lenses to drive tangible systemic shifts.
Addressing affordability and speculation by shifting the conditions of housing systems, grounded in lived experience.
ExploreSupporting adaptation and mitigation by strengthening community resilience and regenerative relationships with land and water.
ExploreBuilding upstream, preventative conditions for wellness by working across the social determinants of health.
ExploreStrengthening learning ecosystems beyond classrooms, including community knowledge building and practice.
ExploreEnsuring fair access, agency, and community ownership of the tools and infrastructure that shape modern life.
ExploreSupporting resilient local food systems and sovereignty as a cornerstone of health, climate resilience, and community stability.
ExploreEvery initiative we undertake sits at the intersection of these Lenses (Horizontal) and Verticals (Vertical).
