Phase 3 — Opens after first revenue milestone

Improvement Grants

Commercial rating revenue funds grants to civil society organizations with elevated void scores. The goal is not criticism — it is measurable improvement. Grant success condition: lower void score at re-scoring.

Why this matters thermodynamically
Treasury receives revenue from commercial rating/certification.
A portion flows to civil society orgs with high Pe scores.
Grants fund: transparency infrastructure, invariant methodology,
             exit-friction reduction, constraint specification work.
Re-scoring after grant period: if void score drops → grant succeeded.
If void score does not drop → no renewal.

Effect on MoreRight governance α score:
  α = coupling / identity fusion
  α = 1 → 0 when project explicitly designed to
  strengthen external institutions, not its own centrality.

DAO Pe trajectory: −25 (current) → −46 (zero MORR) → −77 (+ grants)

Who qualifies

  • Civil society: watchdogs, press freedom orgs, transparency NGOs, digital rights groups
  • Void score ≥ 4/12 — must have room to improve
  • Willing to be re-scored publicly after grant period
  • Not commercially affiliated with MoreRight or any rated platform
  • Score improvement is the success condition — not outputs or activity

What grants fund

  • Open-sourcing internal methodology (opacity reduction)
  • Publishing decision criteria (invariance building)
  • Exit-friction reduction (coupling reduction)
  • Independent audit infrastructure (Pe discharge capacity)
  • Technology for constraint specification (tools, not staff)
  • Not funded: communications, advocacy, lobbying, general operations

Example: What Gets Scored

Civil society orgs are scored using the identical void rubric applied to commercial platforms. No special treatment. The same three conditions (opacity, responsiveness, coupling) apply.

Organization typeTypical opacity issueTypical coupling issuePre-grant scoreTarget post-grant
Press freedom NGO Opaque board structure, hidden donor list Identity fusion with "press freedom" narrative 6 / 12 3 / 12
Transparency watchdog Non-public scoring methodology Advocacy coupling (scores follow campaigns) 5 / 12 2 / 12
Digital rights org Selective evidence (cherry-picking) Donor-responsive position changes 7 / 12 3 / 12
Anti-corruption body Internal process opacity Political affiliation dependencies 5 / 12 2 / 12

Program Timeline

Phase 2
Now

Civil society scoring begins

Score watchdogs, press freedom orgs, and transparency NGOs using the standard void rubric. Build the baseline dataset. No grants yet.

Phase 3
Post-revenue

First grant cycle opens

Applications open for civil society orgs scoring ≥ 4/12. Grant pool: fixed % of quarterly rating revenue. Grant size: €5K–50K per org per cycle. Quarterly re-scoring.

Phase 3+
Post EU entity

EUR-denominated grants + formal program

EU entity enables EUR invoicing. Grants become formal program with published criteria, application portal, and public improvement tracking on the void network.

Ongoing

On-chain transparency

Every grant disbursement visible on-chain via glass-box treasury. Recipient scores tracked publicly before/after. No hidden philanthropy.

Artist Independence Grant Track

Operation Free Schala — Phase 2

Commercial artists whose work was scraped into GPAI training corpora without consent face structural opacity: no disclosure of inclusion, no attribution channel, no remedy path. This grant track funds the infrastructure of resistance — not litigation, but measurement and proof.

What this track funds

Eligibility

Track opens when PAL prediction market seeding completes (OSF pre-registration filed — DOI pending). Grant pool: fixed % of quarterly GPAI certification revenue. Grant size: €2K–20K per recipient. Disbursements on-chain via glass-box treasury.
