TRUST, METHODOLOGY + TRANSPARENCY

A public record that shows its work.

WorkingPolicy is designed to make participation useful without confusing popularity, expertise, evidence, or platform activity with official government action.

01

Versions before counts

Support always belongs to a specific, reviewable version. Material changes require reconfirmation.

02

Evidence with provenance

Facts, research, estimates, testimony, opinion, and assisted summaries are labeled differently.

03

Visible decisions

Accepted and rejected amendments include their evidence, reviewers, rationale, and resulting text.

04

Protected participation

Residency may be verified privately. Sensitive lived experience can use protected attribution.

05

Verified public roles

Officials and organizations must verify their identity and authority before receiving a public badge.

06

Human policy approval

Assistance may summarize, compare, or structure content. Substantive policy changes require human review.
