Shape it, or stop it

This plan asks a lot of hawkers and diners. Both should shape it. Hawkers can stop it. Diners can hold it to account.

Why

The plan already says so. Nothing launches at a pilot centre until three things are true. At least 40% of its hawkers are willing to engage. At least 100 people across the cluster sign in support. A majority of the elected Hawker Council votes to proceed (§6.2). If a centre fails twice, the plan winds itself up.

Trust is earned the same way. People see the choices before anything is spent. The plan has to win their support, not assume it. And every correction makes it better.

    Sign up for updatesBecome a member of Silicon Wok at siliconwok.com/join, and choose what you want: supporter if you back the Plan, volunteer if you can help, or updates for news alone. Signing up as a supporter is how the Plan counts the 100 signatures each pilot cluster needs (§6.2). Membership opens soon; until it does, write to [email protected] and ask to be told. We keep your name and email to send you news of the Library, the Plan and the game, and to count our supporters. We never sell or share it. Unsubscribe in one click.
