Village Board · the sovereign board record

Village Board

Govern with a record you can prove.

Every motion, minute, vote, deliberation and dissent becomes a tamper-evident, audit-grade record on infrastructure your board controls — for company boards, charities, incorporated societies, parish councils, and iwi trustee boards alike.

Built for every kind of board

The common thread: a board that must keep a provable record of its decisions.

Company boards & directors
Charity & trust boards
Incorporated societies & committees
Parish councils & vestries
Marae, rūnanga & iwi trustee boards

Your governance obligations, met by construction

Not another paperwork tool. The record keeps itself, and proves itself.

📜 Resolutions & minutes as sovereign records

Every resolution and set of minutes is captured as a tamper-evident record with its own provenance — who moved it, who seconded, how the vote fell, and when. Exportable on demand, and yours to keep on infrastructure you control.

🗳️ Deliberation, recorded in full

Carry a proposal from discussion to a recorded outcome with the reasoning intact — and dissent preserved, not lost. The decision and the deliberation behind it stay linked, so the record shows not just what was decided but why.

📂 Board packs & secure papers

Assemble board packs and circulate papers through a secure, members-only document portal — version history, controlled access, and no sensitive papers sitting in personal inboxes or an overseas cloud drive.

🔗 Audit trail & ProofChain

Every decision joins a verifiable audit trail backed by ProofChain. Your board can prove what was decided, by whom, and when — to auditors, regulators, members, or a future board — without trusting a vendor's word for it.

👥 Board roles, done properly

Chair, managing director, treasurer/CFO, company secretary, non-executive directors, trustees — each role carries the access and the responsibilities it should, with delegated authority recorded rather than assumed.

🎓 Training your board, built in

The free Governance Course is your board's on-ramp — a shared, board-level language for sovereign deliberation risk before you adopt the tools. Run the group exercises inside a live Village course environment.

Built to protect what an app can't

Anyone can build an app now — the features are becoming free. What software can't spin up is the foundation underneath: who is accountable for your data, where it lives, what the AI is allowed to do with it, and whether your records still mean something in ten years. That is what a Village is built on.

Guardrails built in, not bolted on

Your Village runs inside standing guardians that bound what the system and its AI can do: hold a boundary, check a claim against the record, and require real deliberation before a decision lands. Safety is wired into how it works, not a policy page you click past.

Intelligence that works for you, not on you

The AI runs on our own sovereign inference stack — Qwen today, and our own Situated Language Model. Your members' words and documents are never sent to an overseas cloud model, and never used to train someone else's product.

A record that is yours, and provably true

Every decision, document and exchange becomes a sovereign record: tamper-evident, carrying its own provenance, exportable whenever you ask, and yours to erase for good — on infrastructure you control.

Reach out without giving yourself away

Villages connect to one another directly — to share, refer, collaborate — with no platform owner in the middle. You choose who to peer with and exactly what crosses the line. Reach, without surrender.

Tamper-evident, not "tamper-proof"

Anyone can claim a record can never be changed. We do something more useful, and more honest. Every decision is sealed so that if it is ever altered, the change is provable — and you can verify that yourself, with keys your Village holds, without taking our word for it. And because a real organisation must sometimes correct or supersede a record, legitimate amendments are recorded, attributed and added to the trail: the original always stands, and only silent, unauthorised change becomes impossible to hide. A record you can correct and still prove beats a promise you can't check.

Features get copied. A governed, sovereign, provable, federated foundation does not — because it isn't something you generate. It is something you are built on.
