How We Decide Together

Coopeverything uses a consent-based governance pipeline that transforms ideas into action, tracks outcomes, and learns from experience. Everyone participates. The commons improves the process.

This is a Living System

Important: These systems are suggestions, not mandates. The commons—all of us together—will design and improve these processes over time. This is a living system that evolves with our collective wisdom.

Governance

From casual conversation to concrete action to continuous improvement. Each phase connects seamlessly to the next, with transparent tracking throughout.

Three Phases of Governance

1

Discussions & Deliberation

Explore ideas, build knowledge, and reach readiness

What Happens Here:

  • •Share knowledge: Document best practices, case studies, how-to guides
  • •Ask & answer questions: Build a searchable knowledge base
  • •Explore ideas: Test concepts, gather feedback before formal proposals
  • •Deliberate together: Structured discussions when decisions loom
  • •Preserve diverse views: Minority opinions remain visible

Governance & Decisions

Formal proposals, voting, and consent-based decisions

What Happens Here:

  • •Convert ideas to proposals: Discussions mature into formal proposals
  • •Gather evidence: Research, data, expert opinions, precedents
  • •Explore trade-offs: Consider alternatives, costs, benefits
  • •Vote with consent: Not majority-rule—seek consent with minority reports
  • •Amend & iterate: Decisions can be revisited and improved

Execution & Accountability

Implementation, tracking, review, and continuous improvement

What Happens Here:

  • •Convert to initiatives: Approved proposals become actionable work
  • •Assign workgroups: Break down tasks, assign to teams
  • •Track progress: Transparent reports, deadlines, events, milestones
  • •Measure outcomes: Success metrics, actual vs expected results
  • •Improve continuously: Failed initiatives auto-generate improvement proposals

Our Philosophy

Consent-Based, Not Majority-Rule

We seek consent, not 51% approval. Minority reports are codified, preserved, and given equal visibility. Dissenting voices help us make better decisions.

Transparent & Traceable

Every decision links to evidence, every action links to a decision, every outcome links back to metrics. Full audit trail from idea to impact.

Learning from Failure

When initiatives fail metrics, the system auto-generates improvement proposals. Failure becomes feedback. The commons learns collectively.

Rotating Roles, Shared Power

Admins execute decisions, they don't make them. Roles have term limits and are recallable. Power stays distributed.

Example: Community Garden Initiative

  1. 1
    Ideation
    Member posts in Forum: 'Should we build a community garden?'
  2. 2
    Deliberation
    Community discusses: location options, water access concerns (minority view), estimated costs
  3. 3
    Proposal
    Discussion matures into formal proposal with evidence, budget, minority report on water access
  4. 4
    Decision
    Community votes: 75% consent, minority report preserved stating 'water access may be insufficient'
  5. 5
    Initiative
    Proposal converts to initiative: tasks assigned to workgroups, metrics defined (50 participants, 100kg produce)
  6. 6
    Execution
    Workgroup builds garden over 3 months, posts progress updates, tracks deadlines via calendar
  7. 7
    Review
    90 days later: Only 15 participants (30% of target), 30kg produce (30% of target). Minority prediction about water was correct.
  8. 8
    Improve
    System auto-generates improvement proposal: 'Add irrigation system.' Includes failed metrics + minority report quote as evidence. Community deliberates → approves → implements → success!
