The artefact series

1 of 6 live

One printed ledger every month, pegged to the week's news →

Each artefact is A2 poster + 16-page document + LinkedIn post, produced in under a week, mailed to named recipients. CC BY-SA 4.0.

Built from CivicGraph (public records · 587K entities · $74B in contracts), JusticeHub (1,775 community-led programs), and Empathy Ledger (consent-governed storytelling · 226 storytellers). The platforms are what made the work possible. The work is not about the platforms.
