Foundation · Places
Start from places
A place, as in number theory: a way of looking at shared questions locally. Some places are on the map, like Geneva; others, like work, are not, and Arakelov theory says why both count.

Theory of Change
Our Theory of Change: start from places, on the map and beyond it, assemble the global from the local, build common infrastructure and make data rights usable.
Foundation · Methods
From local to global
Following Tate's thesis: study each place locally, then assemble the global picture as a product over all places, sharing methods without pooling raw personal data.
Explore →Foundation · Infrastructure
Build common infrastructure
Develop the data, contractual and legal infrastructure that lets commons be tended across sometimes competing environments.
Explore →Foundation · Rights
Make data rights usable
Help people exercise their data rights individually and put the results to collective use, with organisations such as PersonalData.IO.
