Transparency Always

Every credit is auditable

Privacy vs Accountability → Balance Both

Trust in the Love Economy is built on radical transparency. Every Love Credit can be traced from its creation (backed by donor funds) through its circulation (meditation to spending) to its redemption (vendor payout). Donors can see exactly where their contributions go. Communities can verify their own activity. The system is accountable to everyone who participates in it.

In Practice

How we apply Transparency Always in real decisions.

Donor asks "where does my money go?"

Not This

General statistics about "lives impacted"

This Instead

Specific tracking: meditation hours funded, credits issued, redemptions enabled

Community questions a transaction

Not This

"Trust us, the algorithm handles it"

This Instead

Full audit trail accessible to community administrators

External audit request

Not This

Selective sharing of positive metrics

This Instead

Complete ledger access for verified auditors
