Public Contribution Index

Recognize the value people create.

A public contribution index for people, organizations, communities, and projects whose real-world value is not always captured by markets, rankings, resumes, or balance sheets.

Contribution Index Map — Contribution categories connected into public records.

Recognition comes before financialization.

TruIndex does not define a person's worth.

Evidence should be transparent, contextual, and reviewable.

Public-benefit standard

Recognition before value becomes financial.

TruIndex starts with Contribution Profiles, Founding Contributor Badges, and Evidence Records before any financialized value layer.

The first product is intentionally concrete: a profile that explains contribution, a badge that makes recognition visible, and evidence that can be reviewed as the standard matures.

Contribution Index

Care, knowledge, community, culture, service, and trust belong in public records.

TruIndex organizes meaningful contribution into visible records. It is not a ranking of human worth; it is an evidence system for work that deserves to be seen.

Founding Contributor

Early network participant helping define TruIndex.

Community Contributor

Supports local, civic, or social life.

Knowledge Contributor

Shares useful knowledge, education, guidance, or public information.

Cultural Contributor

Preserves or creates cultural, creative, memory, or storytelling value.

Care Contributor

Supports people through care, service, wellbeing, teaching, mentoring, or guidance.

Human layer

Contribution is more than output.

Caregiving, mentoring, cultural memory, local service, public knowledge, and community support are forms of infrastructure. They need records that are careful, contextual, and human.

Future Value Layer

HVT belongs after trust.

The Human Value Token (HVT) is a future value layer being explored by TruIndex. It should only follow transparent recognition records, careful governance, evidence, and real adoption.

TruIndex begins as a recognition and evidence system. Over time, that foundation can support contribution indexes, institutional recognition, and carefully governed HVT value experiments.
