Governance.
Open-source governance
The Blueprint Lab is governed under an open-source model modeled on Apache Foundation and Linux Foundation practice. No single organization controls the codebase. The platform is not owned or directed by the book's publisher. Governance changes are themselves logged in the public commit history.
Contributor guidelines
Contributions must respect the platform's nonpartisanship commitment. All contributions are subject to editorial review for methodological integrity and constitutional coherence. See /contribute for the contribution pathway.
Relationship to The First Three Words
The Blueprint Lab is the operational demonstration of the companion Blueprint across all three reform tiers — not an extension of the book's marketing. The book's editorial team has advisory access to platform decisions; governance is not controlled by the editorial team.
Dispute resolution
Governance processes are under formation. Initial dispute resolution follows Apache-style consensus modeling. As the contributor base grows, formalization will evolve. Governance changes are recorded in the platform's public commit history.
Funding transparency
Funding sources are disclosed in the public repository. As the platform secures committed funding for sustained development, the funding-disclosure section here will expand.
