You built a market or platform to create value, but it's become extractive. The incentives have drifted. Participants game the system instead of contributing to it. This isn't a failure of ethics—it's a failure of market constitution.
The outcome we're working toward:
A market where contribution beats extraction—by design, not enforcement.
These aren't failures of regulation or ethics—they're symptoms of missing market constitution.
Markets lack constitutional constraints on what exchange may optimise.
Democracies have constitutions. Corporations have articles of incorporation. But markets? Markets optimise whatever the current rules allow, and the rules can always be gamed.
Regulation tries to constrain markets from outside—but external constraints create arbitrage. Ethics training tries to change individual behaviour—but individual virtue can't overcome structural incentives.
What we've developed and want to test.
A constitutional framework that embeds regenerative constraints into market structure. It defines what the market may not optimise—the boundaries that make extraction structurally difficult rather than merely illegal or immoral.
Status: Framework developed. Seeking pilot implementations to test and refine.
Working papers that develop these ideas in depth.
If you're running a market or platform that's become extractive and willing to test our framework, we'd like to talk. No fees for pilots—just commitment and honest feedback.
