Join the Build Phase
COGS is more than a policy idea—it’s a platform we’re actively coding, testing, and stress-proofing. Over the next few months we’ll open a Contribution System where anyone can pitch in skill, time, or capital and earn real equity (Gold Points) in return.
What's Coming - At A Glance
Phase | What You'll See | How You Can Help |
|---|---|---|
1. Deliverable Catalog (ETA: Summer 2025) | A public board listing bite-sized tasks: Code modules, UI mock-ups, research write-ups, community outreach goals, etc. | Claim a task, complete it, submit for review. |
2. Point Grants | Approved deliverables unlock Gold Points--equity you keep | By earning equity you have a voice to help guide the company. |
3. Capital Rounds | Want to fund progress instead of writing code? Purchase Gold Points at a $5/pt valuation. | Fuel development, share in future dividends. |
4. Transparency Dashboard | Live cap-table, task tracker, and funding meter; so you always know who owns what and why. | Hold us (and yourself) publicly accountable. |
(Exact release dates depend on developer bandwidth and funding)
Why Gold Points Matter
-
They're Equity, Not Tokens. No gimmicks, no buybacks. Points are membership stakes in COGS LLC.
-
Dividends on Profits. When COGS earns surplus revenue, point-holders vote to share in it.
-
One Global Cap Table. Everyone, from the founder to the most meager contributor, plays by the same rules.

Fine Print
The Contributions System will launch under a finalized COGS Points Policy and a lawyer-reviewed Operating Agreement. All participants will be required to digitally sign a one-page Point Grant or Subscription Agreement before points are issued. .
