# :material-flask: Experiment Overview
|
|
|
|
!!! info "What is this?"
|
|
A concise map of our experiment design: how we put the Smartup Hypothesis into practice
|
|
by redesigning the Social, Technical, and External subsystems. Follow the links to dive deeper.
|
|

|
|
|
|
## From Hypothesis to Experiment
|
|
|
|
Building on our core hypothesis, Smartup Zero tests three system tweaks:
|
|
|
|
- :material-account-group: **Social Subsystem**
|
|
From fragmented "users" to democratic citizens—transparent governance, peer workflows, collective ownership, and progressive transparency architecture.
|
|
|
|
- :material-server: **Technical Subsystem**
|
|
From isolated tools to group-first design—dual-currency economy, sovereign open-source stack, and automated administration.
|
|
|
|
- :material-earth: **External Subsystem**
|
|
From national silos to planetary organizations—borderless operations, equal pay, and a roadmap to global recognition.
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
!!! warning "Don't Be Overwhelmed"
|
|
A Smartup is a new species of organization with many novel tools, processes, and workflows.
|
|
You won't master it all at once—learn by doing in the live experiment!

## Core Experiment Components
|
|
|
|
We frame each subsystem by its defining elements. Click through to explore details and examples.
|
|
|
|
=== ":material-account-group: Social Subsystem"
|
|
|
|
**Organizational Architecture**
|
|
- :material-rocket-launch: Rocket model: foundation (Science, Democracy, Collective IQ) + 3 pillars + military execution
|
|
- :material-cube-outline: Four Phases (0→Validation→Design→Production→Organization)
|
|
- :material-layers-triple: Six Groups of Productivity (Forum, Workplace, Teams, Roles, Objectives, Tasks)
|
|
|
|
**Democratic Governance**
|
|
- :material-triangle: ADM Triangle + Buddy System for quality, learning, and accountability
|
|
- :material-book-open: Official Smartup Business Plan (OSBP) as living constitution
|
|
- :material-vote: Binding vs. Advisory voting for different decision types
|
|
|
|
**Progressive Transparency Architecture** :material-new-box:
|
|
- :material-earth: Tier 1: Universal access (governance, progress, currency ledger)
|
|
- :material-account-group: Tier 2: Licensed contributor access (implementation, development)
|
|
- :material-shield-account: Tier 3: Organizational governance (strategic coordination)
|
|
- :material-license: Four License System (Campaign → Watch → Work → Organizational)
|
|
- :material-calendar-sync: Weekly blueprint sync (internal → external transparency)
|
|
|
|
=== ":material-server: Technical Subsystem"
|
|
|
|
**Dual-Currency Economy**
|
|
- :material-coin: Smartup Credits (SC): 1 SC = €1 treasury claim for completed work
|
|
- :material-heart: Social Karma: Non-transferable reputation for community contribution
|
|
- :material-git: Git-native ledger system with immutable transaction history
|
|
|
|
**Infrastructure & Automation**
|
|
- :material-server: EU-sovereign, open-source stack (Matrix/Element, Forgejo, Open Collective)
|
|
- :material-layers-triple: Smartup Administration Index (semantic numbering & workflows)
|
|
- :material-robot: Engelbot & CI for automated task routing, voting, and SC minting
|
|
- :material-group: Group-centric design (ONLIFE mesh protocol for collective action)
|
|
|
|
=== ":material-earth: External Subsystem"
|
|
|
|
**Planetary Scope**
|
|
- :material-earth-box: Digital-first, no HQ, operates under Internet jurisdiction
|
|
- :material-account-heart: Borderless participation & equal pay worldwide
|
|
- :material-scale-balance: Defocused from politics; focused on SDGs & scientific reality
|
|

|
|
- :material-shield-lock: Immunity from political volatility through decentralized structure

|
!!! warning "Science Team: The Final Gatekeepers"
|
|
Special Veto Power: Even if the majority votes "ready," the Science Team can halt progression if the solution:
|
|
- Doesn't meet SDG compliance standards
|
|
- Lacks sustainability (e.g., server emissions too high)
|
|
- Isn't peer-reviewable or scientifically sound
|
|
- Could solve one problem but create others
|
|
*Think of them as auditors ensuring we don't release tools that cause unintended harm.*
|
|
|
|
!!! tip "Consistent 4-Threshold Structure"
|
|
Every phase follows the same validation pattern:
|
|
1. **Financial**: Crowdfunding/revenue targets met
|
|
2. **Organizational**: Teams properly staffed and functioning
|
|
3. **Documentation**: OSBP evolved to next version standard
|
|
4. **Democratic**: Community majority approval + Science Team sign-off
|
