Transparency
Here anyone can see, in numbers, where every cent goes.
This website is run on a voluntary basis. The person responsible for the technical side receives nothing from sales; they are only reimbursed for the actual website expenses, published here.
The numbers will be published once pre-orders open.

Website infrastructure
Every paid service (domain, hosting, audio storage, e-mail) will be listed here per year, with the provider, the amount and the invoice.
What each line means
- Total sales: everything buyers paid, before any deductions.
- Payment fees: what Stripe and the banks charge for each payment, including currency conversion.
- Refunds: money returned to buyers.
- Net received by the NGO: sales minus fees and refunds.
- Production and shipping: printers, fabric, transport and payments to artists and speakers.
- Website infrastructure: the actual cost of the website services, with no margin.
- Delivered to the community: what reached the community and what it was used for.
