Independence must be designed, not assumed

Governance and Transparency

How the Alliance stays independent, discloses conflicts of interest, and holds itself accountable — stated honestly, including where we're not finished yet.

Mission independence

Principles that govern how we work.

Dignity over charity

Evidence over assertion

Partnership over control

Transparency over convenience

Independence of mission

Responsible use of participant data

Proactive disclosure of conflicts of interest

External participation in governance and evaluation

Technology independence & conflict of interest

The Growhubs relationship, disclosed in full.

Growhubs, the Alliance's current reference implementation, is privately owned by members of the Alliance's founding team. It is made available to the Alliance and pilot participants at no cost and without profit to its owners — the founding team draws no commercial revenue from the Alliance's use of the platform, and no pilot or grant funding is used to purchase or license it. The Framework, methodology, and any pilot evidence belong to the Alliance, not exclusively to Growhubs the company.

Early-stage organizational status

Honest about where we are.

The Alliance is currently in an early formation stage. Before accepting significant grant or donor funding, it intends to establish an independent steering structure and formal conflict-of-interest processes. These are described as planned, not yet established.
