Ensure the 28th Regime explicitly enables steward ownership as a viable legal model for companies across the EU, including non-exit-oriented startups.

Provide clear, harmonized rules that allow irrevocable adoption of steward ownership principles such as capital lock and non-transferable voting rights, with cross-border recognition.
“The 28th Regime presents a historic opportunity to anchor steward ownership at the EU level with clear, harmonized rules: Irrevocable adoption of key principles (capital lock, non-transferable voting rights, stewardship designation). Cross-border recognition of asset locks and steward-owned conversions.”

Open source underneath
WhoShapedIt is a thin layer on open-source packages. Star them, fork them, build your own micro.
Open-source context and state for AI: it keeps only what matters for the question.
In WhoShapedIt: Reads every lobby submission and position paper and each official text, cut into passages, and judges each passage against nine questions (who can use EU Inc, workers on the board, tax…), so every ask and every step is read on the passages that address it.
Open-source Svelte components for clean, accessible interfaces.
In WhoShapedIt: The status, the timeline, the theme picker, the camps of lobbies and the organisation pages.
