OPEN PANEL — Founder Package

OPEN PANEL — Founder Package

Section titled “OPEN PANEL — Founder Package”

Plain-language docs for Michael Richter, co-founder. No jargon left undefined; full candor, including what’s still open. Working draft (v0.1) — not legal or financial advice.

The story is free. The universe is the asset.

Read in this order

Section titled “Read in this order”
  1. ONE_PAGER.md — the whole thing on one page. Start here, or forward it.
  2. FOUNDER_BRIEF.md — the full plain-language overview (~15 min): what we’re building, why free is the strategy, the pieces, the risks.
  3. MONEY.md — how the money and the company structure actually work, and why a PBC instead of a charity.
  4. DECISIONS.md — the open forks where your call changes what we build. The most useful thing for you to react to.
  5. GLOSSARY.md — every term, in plain English. Keep it open as you read.

Where this comes from

Section titled “Where this comes from”

These docs are the plain-language translation of the project’s source of truth, ../CANON.md. Where anything here and CANON disagree, CANON wins (and tell me — it means something drifted).
