The Accountability Template for All Future Commitments

The 120% refund mechanism and the 10% penalty clause are not specific to the UN event — they are the template for every future commitment the founding team makes.

Whenever the team announces a commitment, one of two things must be true: either it comes with a self-enforced penalty mechanism if not honored, or it is clearly labeled as an intention, not a binding commitment. There is no in-between.

The lesson from UN: the team made commitments about a token mechanism before it had been fully reviewed for consistency with core principles. Going forward, every commitment is checked against the seven principles in Section 2 before being made public.
