Polycentric Governance Engine

Participatory agreements for federation

What is Polycentric Governance?

This engine helps create the right bundle of agreements for your context. Instead of one universal license, it produces nested, purpose-specific governance through structured interviews, participatory mapping, and machine-readable policies (ODRL).

1. Interviews

Answer questions to generate role, archetype, and criteria.

IdentityDataValue

2. Mapping

Map actors, datasets, devices, trust circles.

ActorsDevicesZones

3. Agreements

Generate human + machine-readable agreements.
