VPTT runs on a specific structure, built to carry an idea from a first conversation all the way to a tracked, real-world result. This section explains the mechanics — the spaces, the standards, and the people who keep it running.
The Three Spaces: Forum, Wiki, and Website
VPTT runs on three connected spaces, and only two of them work the way you might expect. This article explains what the Forum and Wiki actually do, and why the website itself is built differently from both.
Objective, Not Neutral: Our Evidence Standard
Treating every position as equally weighted sounds fair, but it isn’t always. This article explains the difference between being neutral and being objective, and why VPTT is built on the second one.
From Deliberation to Accountability
A good idea that goes nowhere isn’t worth much. This article walks through the full path an issue takes on VPTT — from deliberation, to organizing support, to tracking whether a promise actually gets kept.
Who Can Participate
Anyone with a cell phone and an internet connection can take part in VPTT, no identity required. This article covers who’s welcome, why anonymous participation matters, and where sustained involvement can lead.
Facilitators and Moderators
Every active issue on VPTT needs people willing to take on more responsibility for it. This article explains what facilitators and moderators actually do, and how someone earns their way into either role.
