FAQ

• Does my submission actually go to world leaders and the UN?

  Yes. Your submission is read, analysed, and incorporated into a collective Ground Report alongside every other voice on that issue. That report, representing the synthesised testimony of everyone who submitted, is then delivered directly to every relevant body the AI identifies as having the power or mandate to act. You receive it in your inbox at the exact same moment they do.

• Who decides which issues go on the map?

  You do. Enough voices on the same topic makes its way up.

• Can I submit anonymously?

  You can use a first name only. Your email is required so we can send you the Ground Report. It is never published or shared. You have my word.

• Does the AI have an opinion?

  No. The AI reads every submission and surfaces what people said. It identifies the strongest arguments on all sides, flags conflicts, and notes what is unresolved. It never recommends a position. It is a mirror, not a voice.

• How does Plinthcore know who to send the Ground Report to?

  The AI analyses the issue and every submission to identify every governance body, institution, regulatory agency, humanitarian organisation, and decision-maker in the world with the jurisdiction or mandate to act on the findings. You do not need to know who they are. Plinthcore finds them and delivers directly.

• What happens if a leader or institution responds?

  Then our plan has worked. Is working.

• How is this different to a petition?

  A petition is a count. Plinthcore is a document. The Ground Report contains structured testimony, synthesised arguments, identified conflicts, and targeted delivery to the right bodies. It carries the weight of evidence, not just the weight of numbers.

• Is Plinthcore politically aligned?

  No. Plinthcore does not take positions. It surfaces positions. Every perspective in every submission is represented in the Ground Report with equal rigour.

• Why is it free?

  Because a platform that charges for the right to be heard has already failed its mission. Everything on Plinthcore is free. Always.

• Why $5 a month?

  Because Plinthcore is currently one person paying for servers, time, and the audacity to think this can work. If it matters to you, $5 keeps it alive. If it does not, everything is still free.

• Why does it take time to grow?

  Because real things take time. Plinthcore is building something that has never existed, a global civic platform that takes the voices of ordinary people and delivers them, with structure and force, to the most powerful institutions in the world. That does not happen overnight. Every submission, every Ground Report, every moment a leader has to acknowledge that people are watching, that is the platform growing. Stay with us. It is worth it.

• How do I know Plinthcore will not be bought, corrupted, or co-opted?

  Read the Independence page. Then read it again. Those commitments are public, permanent, and the reason this platform exists.

• Why is the First Nations bubble protected?

  Because Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples have distinct lived experiences that deserve their own voice, not to be averaged into a broader conversation, not to be spoken over, and not to be dissolved into everyone else's story. We ask that only First Nations people submit there. Not because other voices do not matter, they have the whole map, but because that space is specifically theirs. Please respect it.
