coherence · a little more context

start with
a real need.

a useful collaboration begins with the people affected, a narrow problem and a way to check whether the work helps.

keep the first step small

choose a need a community actually has. explain what already happens, what is difficult and what would count as an improvement. match the need to the project's current stage before proposing a trial.

agree on the essentials

• who participates, and who can say no or stop.
• what each side contributes and can realistically support.
• what information is needed, who can access it and how it will be removed.
• how to assess the result, including possible harms and reasons to stop.
• what can be shared publicly and what remains private.

this prepares a proposal; it does not submit one or establish a partnership. a public collaboration intake is not open on this site yet.

check the project stages before planning a dependency or trial.
