Public Documents

Open Resources for Understanding Platform One

Platform One maintains a selection of public-facing documents to support transparency, learning, and values-aligned engagement. These documents provide insight into our kaupapa, governance framework, ethical foundations, and approach to community-led systems.

They are available for anyone who wishes to understand how Platform One works and how community-led systems can be designed and stewarded responsibly.

Public documents are intended for:

  • community members
  • collaborators
  • researchers
  • aligned organisations
  • people exploring participation or support

More detailed governance materials, Blueprint modules, and internal frameworks are available only through Controlled Access, which requires a stewardship conversation to ensure responsible use.

These materials are selected and presented with care to ensure appropriate context and interpretation.

Using Public Documents Responsibly

Public documents may be read, shared, and cited for:

  • community learning
  • research
  • sector engagement
  • aligned collaboration
  • values-based development work

They must not be used for:

  • commercial extraction
  • political advocacy
  • institutional advantage
  • misrepresentation of Platform One
  • implying affiliation, endorsement, or authority

All materials are subject to Platform One’s values, ethical framework, and non-extraction stewardship principles.
