Evaluation & Selection Process

3.1 The Gatekeeper: Evaluator Vetting

Before a team can cast a vote, they must prove they understand the principles.

• Who: Two reps per team (Team Lead + Tech Lead).
• Requirement: 100% on Regenerative Development & Hub Governance Test.
• Curriculum: Regenerative Principles, Catalyst Criteria, Sociocracy 101.

3.2 The Philosophy

“Our Representatives, Not Our Rivals.” We are One Hub. Your vote is a strategic decision for the success of the Bioregion.

3.3 The 4 Pillars of Evaluation

Teams use a Forced Ranking System (1–14) based on:

1. Ground Truth: Is the problem real? Evidence of engagement?
2. Regenerative Potential: Does it heal the system? Create positive loops?
3. Tech/Narrative: Is the integration valid? Does the story match the problem?
4. Global Readiness: Prepared for the world stage? Professional docs?

3.4 Voting Mechanics

1. Private Sheets: Unique links.
2. No Self-Voting: Prohibited.
