Enable access to steward-compatible financing instruments such as a standardized EU-wide Future Profit Agreement that allow profit-sharing without ownership or control, with clear caps and exit mechanisms protecting the mission.
Legally recognize separation of voting and profit rights, with restrictions on transferability and inheritance of voting rights (naked-in, naked-out) and a binding mission-lock enforced through structural and legal mechanisms.

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.
