This strip is dated so the site's promises always track the actual build.
01 / From a need to a record
Local needs. Clear work. Evidence that matters.
Ubuntu Town turns local needs into clear tasks, then keeps evidence of what was done. AI recommends. People decide.
SignalNotice a local need or opportunity.
WorkpackTurn it into clear steps and evidence requirements.
ProofRecord what was done.
ReviewA different person checks the evidence.
RecognitionThe contributor sees what was recognised and the next step.

02 / Work agreements in rands
Real amounts. A person approves every step.
Funded work in the app runs on a clear agreement, recorded in rands instead of points - so people always know what their effort earns.
How one agreement works
Live in the app since 11 Nov. Sample-town amounts are simulated examples.
A coordinator proposes work with a named funder, an amount in rands and clear terms.
The owner approves the funding before anyone accepts the work. No one else can approve the money.
The worker accepts, does the work and submits evidence.
A different, authorised person checks the delivery against the terms.
The owner confirms payment only against a real payment record. The app records agreements; it does not make payments.
Voluntary contribution is recognised with evidence and thanks, never dressed up as paid work.
03 / Ten initiatives
Tools to build your town, one at a time.
An initiative's place in the estate does not mean its service is operating in every town.
