Public roadmap

Every decision, out in the open.

Candidates, voting dates, results and every estimate change. Nothing gets quietly rewritten: old estimates and their reasons stay visible.

Candidate pool

Three candidates per platform

Each candidate is buildable, owned by a responsible partner and estimated with a range. The founder vote decides which goes first.
