Questions
What organizations ask before they begin.
Clear answers on eligibility, scope, evidence, timing and how the four offers work together.
01Which solution should we start with?+
Start with the constraint. Choose membership for sustained visibility and access, certification for verified proof, the Summit for relationships and insight, or consulting when a defined business problem needs specialist execution.
02What is the ownership economy, and why now?+
The ownership economy includes organizations that give workers, members, communities, users or the public a meaningful stake in economic value and decision making. The platform makes those structures easier to understand, compare and trust.
03Who is membership designed for?+
Membership is built for operators, investors, practitioners, and institutions that want sustained visibility, stronger connections, and practical access to an ownership-focused network.
04Do I need to be an ESOP or cooperative to qualify?+
No. The framework covers multiple credible models, including employee ownership, cooperatives, purpose ownership, community wealth, public ownership, and distributed networks.
05How is certification different from membership?+
Membership provides ongoing platform access and network benefits. Certification is an evidence-led verification process that produces a public trust signal.
06What can a consulting engagement cover?+
Scopes can include ownership design, succession and transition planning, governance, employee participation, legal and tax structuring, capital strategy, communications, measurement and certification readiness.
07Who leads a consulting engagement?+
A lead practitioner coordinates the work and brings in specialists from the federated network only where the scope requires them. The team is built around the problem, not a fixed agency roster.
08Can we combine membership, certification and consulting?+
Yes. An organization might use consulting to prepare a model, certification to verify it and membership to sustain visibility and relationships. Each service remains separately scoped.
09How are timelines and fees set?+
Membership has a defined annual level. Certification and consulting depend on organizational complexity, evidence readiness and the scope of work. A first conversation establishes the likely path, team and timetable.
10How is confidential information handled?+
Certification and consulting materials are reviewed only for the agreed purpose. The engagement scope should specify access, retention and handling requirements before sensitive documents are shared.
11Does a directory listing mean an organization is certified?+
No. Directory inclusion is a research record. Certification is a separate review with its own evidence standard and current status.
