What we are building.

Four open tools for people who want to govern themselves: a human-rights benchmark, a digital republic, a map of civil society and a library of constitutions.

NRM 01

normalcy

A human-rights benchmark for texts

normalcy measures texts — from constitutions and statutes to a single post — against international human-rights law. The full text of the instruments is kept provision by provision, with stable identifiers, so every judgement can cite only text that actually exists.

  • 15 instruments, 581 articles, 1,907 citable identifiers
  • Layer 1: the core human-rights treaties, international criminal law and the Yogyakarta Principles
  • Layer 2: OSCE/ODIHR and Venice Commission guidelines for the statutes of parties and associations
  • The 1979 constitution of the Islamic Republic is never the reference point, only one more text to measure

JMH 02

Jomhoor

Republic is a verb. People governing together.

A digital democracy platform for Iranians. Jomhoor — literally “the public” — names five structural gaps in self-governance and fills each with a technology: zero-knowledge identity, multi-signature trust groups, deliberation with anonymous verifiable voting, decentralised finance, and subsidiarity.

  • Identity: prove “I am Iranian” from the NFC chip of a passport or national ID card, without revealing who you are
  • Decision: deliberation on Agora/Polis, then anonymous zero-knowledge voting via Rarimo
  • Civic Compass maps where you stand across eight policy dimensions
  • Taraaz, an open-source, AI-assisted facilitator for large-scale deliberation

ATL 03

Atlas of Iranian Civil Society

Mapping, analysing and empowering the network of Iran’s freedom movements

The Woman, Life, Freedom movement is made of many independent, siloed initiatives. The Atlas maps civil and social organisations, political parties and the connections between them, so that Iranian organisations can find each other and build a united front.

  • Directories of civil-society organisations and of political parties
  • A political spectrum and a graph of connections between organisations
  • normalcy audits shown next to each organisation’s page
  • Data of version 0.2.0 is open for public review

CON 04

Foundational Documents

A century of constitution-writing for Iran, article by article

Every known draft constitution for Iran, from Mostashar al-Dowleh’s “Yek Kalameh” and the constitution of 1906 to the charters of the transition era — extracted, split into articles and comparable. Texts appear as their authors wrote them; nothing is ranked or endorsed, and documents are compared only with their own kind.

  • Full texts, split into articles
  • Similarity and side-by-side comparison
  • Search across the whole corpus
  • Measured article by article against normalcy
