Your funding keeps disappearing

Every political cycle, budget cycle, or leadership change puts your capital at risk. You've built something valuable, but the structure that funds it wasn't designed to last.

The outcome we're working toward:

Capital that survives political transitions—protected by structure, not goodwill.

You're experiencing this if:

These aren't failures of leadership—they're symptoms of structural fragility.

Funding gets cut when governments change
You spend more time fundraising than delivering impact
Long-term infrastructure projects get abandoned mid-way
Each budget cycle feels like starting from scratch
Political priorities override institutional needs

The Diagnosis

The problem isn't political will—it's accounting architecture.

Public accounting systems were designed for annual budgets, not multi-generational assets. They lack categories for capital continuity, making long-horizon value invisible to decision-makers. When something can't be seen, it can't be protected.

Public-private partnerships don't solve this—they substitute contracts for constitutions. Contracts can be renegotiated or terminated. Constitutions embed constraints that future actors inherit.

The Framework

What we've developed and want to test.

Cycle Constitution

A governance document that embeds capital continuity constraints into institutional structure. It defines what cannot be changed by future leadership—the constitutional layer that protects long-horizon capital from short-horizon pressures.

Status: Framework developed. Seeking pilot implementations to test and refine.

What piloting involves

  • Applying our diagnostic framework to your funding structure
  • Working together to draft a Cycle Constitution for your context
  • Testing the framework with your stakeholders
  • Documenting what works and what needs refinement

What we need from you

  • An organization facing real capital continuity challenges
  • Leadership commitment to the pilot process (3-6 months)
  • Willingness to share learnings (anonymized if needed)
  • Honest feedback on what works and what doesn't
