Unlike Wikipedia.org, we do not seek to write about all knowledge under the sun. Our goal is specific: to report on the relationships between a company and its' products, shareholders, host community, vendors, workers and the government via lobbyists, politicians, and Political Action Committees (PACs). The idea is to use this information not to create a complete picture of the business or its history and activities, but rather to cut through the advertising mythology and corporate assertions to form objective and qualitative synopses. These synopses will form the basis of a corporate, product, owner, donor and politician scores. To learn more about our who we are, our business scoring model, or how you can help, please visit our [[unCapitali.se]] wiki page. == <div style="background: #3366cc; color: white; padding: 10px; border-radius: 5px;">New Members & Articles - Week of April 19 - 26, 2026</div> == <strong>New Member Welcome</strong> Please welcome the following new members: *Shane <strong>Note the following new articles & pages:</strong> *[[Archive of Activity & Article Additions]] - an archive of this post and weekly activity *[[Community Rules of Conduct]] - a place for basic rules and guidelines for volunteers Past activity can be viewed on the [[Archive_of_Activity_&_Article_Additions]] page. == <div style="background: #3366cc; color: white; padding: 10px; border-radius: 5px;">Developments</div> == In this first discussion of developments, the following accomplishments can be summarized: *Significant progress on the business scoring model and automation of data collection *A draft business plan was completed *The instance of wikimedia server software was installed *Hosting was initiated & the wiki is live *The domain name was purchased *Significant progress was made in soliciting: **Vendors **Volunteers **Writers Initial discussions continue to attract technical people as well as those incensed by recent government activities amounting to unconstitutional overreach in Minnesota.

It is not enough to write articles and to score businesses. We intend to use this information to educate our members on the quality of their purchases and effects these purchases have on their communities and the world. To that end, we have engaged an application developer to assist in creating a mobile application that will: *Assist users in scanning product codes to see product level scoring, and to assist in capturing uncatalogued products *Assist users in comparing products *Recommend product alternatives As we move from through the growth phase of the wiki into applying summarized data, some of you may be asked to assist in beta testing the application so that we can affect a phased roll out of the application to a wider group of member/users. </div> ovsu2tqpi5ovd16mgw648052c11fr1q
