How It Works

A simple front door. Strong structure behind it.

WST is built to help good people coordinate without losing local leadership. We keep the public experience clear and respectful, then introduce structure as participation deepens: review, consent, role scoping, and continuity.

Participation has lanes. Some are public (learn, donate). Some require review (membership). Some require certification (WST-ID roles). Partners integrate by agreement and approval.

Participation Lanes

Choose what fits. You can always start light and move deeper later.

Support the Mission (Donor)

Provide optional financial support to help build tools, logistics, and local delivery capacity. No membership required.

Become a Member (Intake + Review)

Enter intake review to participate in WST as a member. Approval is based on alignment, good faith, and readiness for responsibility.

Acquire PGU (Planetary Geo Unit)

PGU participation is a defined program lane. It can support stewardship, funding pathways, and structured participation. Details depend on program rules and availability.

WST-ID Certified Member (Role Access)

Certification is for members who hold roles (charters, operators, auditors, partners). It unlocks scoped tools and accountability.

Partner With WST

Organizations, tribes, NGOs, institutions, and builders can partner by agreement. Partners are reviewed and approved before integration.

Developers & Integrations

Developers connect through a sandbox-first approach. External systems do not touch core records directly without approval.

The Process

WST starts with understanding and adds structure only when it’s needed. This keeps the experience human, while still supporting serious coordination and long-term continuity.

1

Start Light

Explore the public library, watch the vision, or reach out. No pressure and no forced sign-up.

  • Learn what WST is and what it is not
  • Choose a lane: support, member, PGU, certified role, partner
2

Intake (When Needed)

For membership, roles, PGU, or partner engagement, WST uses a minimal intake process to route requests responsibly.

  • Identity and intent (scaled to the lane)
  • Basic fit and readiness
3

Review & Decision

Requests are reviewed internally. Outcomes are clear: proceed, pause, or decline (with respect).

  • Alignment and capacity check
  • Scope setting: what you can access and why
  • Audit trail for accountability
4

Consent, Standards, and Boundaries

As participation deepens, standards are acknowledged: conduct, privacy, responsibilities, and dispute pathways.

  • Role-based expectations
  • Privacy-minimized data handling
  • Continuity rules that keep the mission stable
5

Onboarding and Role Access

Approved participants receive onboarding appropriate to their lane: member access, certified role access, or partner scope.

  • Orientation and tools
  • Documentation and operating basics
  • Scoped permissions (not “open access”)
6

Coordination & Delivery

Work becomes real through coordination, milestones, reporting, and continuity. Local leadership remains central.

  • Clear milestones and accountability
  • Documentation and communication channels
  • Long-term stewardship
