INSTITUTIONAL ACCOUNTS
Listen at scale.
Governments, businesses, universities, researchers, nonprofits, media, and international institutions all need to understand what people think and want.
.one provides a new institutional feedback layer built around civic signal: public data that institutions can observe, analyze, and learn from, alongside tools that allow them to ask their own questions.
Observe. Survey. Consult.
Feedback exists. It just doesn't exist in one place.
Governance relies on elections, polls, surveys, petitions, and consultations. Commerce relies on market research, customer data, reviews, and social listening.
These methods are valuable. But they are fragmented across systems, organizations, populations, and moments in time.
.one adds something different: a persistent layer of civic signal that can be measured across issues, places, populations, and time.
And because that underlying signal is public, institutions don't need privileged access to see it.
OBSERVE
Turn public civic signal into institutional intelligence.
Institutional Accounts provide custom dashboards, reports, monitoring, comparisons, and analytics built around the questions that matter to each institution.
Track issues. Compare places and populations. Follow changes over time. Identify emerging priorities, consensus, division, and changes in civic demand.
The underlying civic signal remains public. Institutions pay for the tools and analysis that make it useful to them.
SURVEY
Ask your own questions.
Public civic signal tells institutions what people are already expressing. Institutional research tools allow them to investigate further.
Institutions will be able to create dedicated Polls, Scores, and Ranks to ask specific questions and generate custom data for research, policy, planning, and decision-making.
Institutional research remains separate from the Civic Register. It does not become community civic signal simply because an institution paid to ask the question.
INSTITUTIONAL RESEARCH
What do you want to measure?
Example
“Which public transportation improvements should Busan prioritize?”
Institutional Research · Separate from Civic Register
CONSULT
Give communities somewhere to answer.
Institutions don't only need data. Sometimes they need to ask, explain, listen, and follow an issue over time.
.one is being designed to support transparent institutional consultation in the same environment where civic signal develops.
Institutions can maintain an official presence while identified human stewards participate transparently on their behalf—creating a clearer connection between institutional inquiry and the people affected by it.
Institutions pay for tools and services, not civic influence.
Civic Functions and votes remain in the hands of people.
Institutional research is measured separately. Paying for an Institutional Account does not buy votes, alter civic signal, or give an institution control over the Civic Register.
What institutions can buy is capability: custom research, dashboards, reports, analytics, monitoring, and other tools built around civic data.
PUBLIC CIVIC LAYER
INSTITUTIONAL LAYER
Tools and services. Not civic influence.
Built to be accessible at every scale.
Traditional polling, research teams, data analysis, and large-scale consultation can be expensive. AI-assisted research and a shared public data layer create the possibility of providing sophisticated capabilities at substantially lower cost.
.one's institutional model is designed to scale with the organizations using it.
Economic context, institutional scale, reach, and usage can all contribute to what an institution pays—allowing a local nonprofit and a global corporation to participate within the same system without being charged as though they were economically equivalent.
Revenue from institutional tools and services provides a path toward economic sustainability while preserving civic signal as a public resource.
Pricing scales with capacity.

Institutional tools draw from the public data layer
The data layer becomes more valuable as participation grows. Access to civic signal remains public. Institutions pay to ask more of it.
A new feedback layer between institutions and the people they serve.
.one is developing Institutional Accounts with governments, researchers, businesses, universities, nonprofits, media, and other organizations in mind.
If your organization is interested in civic measurement, opinion research, consultation, or exploring an early institutional use case, we'd like to hear from you.
