In simple terms
Any project changes land, water, air, routes, livelihoods and cultural ties to a place. The factory organises evidence, listening and verifiable options to reduce harm. It does not turn consultation into a formality and never declares the consent of a community as obtained.
Who it helps
Communities, indigenous peoples, local initiatives, land users, municipalities, companies, investors, universities and authorities.
Questions you can bring
- What data is needed before choosing a site?
- Who will be affected by water abstraction?
- How do we tell information apart from consent?
What you receive
- a gap map and a safe data-collection plan
- a baseline passport and an impact matrix
- a register of comments, answers and commitments
- an accessible version of the materials
How quality is checked
Clear language, a date and source for each statement, no substitution of opinion for consent, and the possibility to challenge a record. Traditional knowledge, sacred sites and sensitive coordinates need a separate access regime.
Three example requests
Village
“A bridge is needed across a seasonal stream.”
City
“A quarry is planned near pastures.”
Region or country
“How do we compare sites for a wind farm?”
