Narrative-first, evidence-driven

Back to playbooks

This folder turns “community engagement” into a small, repeatable practice.

Goal: reduce the monthly squeeze and lower the odds we get split by fear + scapegoats.

We do that by running a loop:

Squeeze → bottleneck → one measurable ask → follow-up → scoreboard → repeat

What’s inside

• Community OS (E4E)
  The operating system: the repeatable loop, roles, and rhythm.

• One-Pager Template
  The one-page handout: problem → mechanism → options → recommendation → ask → success.

• Meeting Agenda Template
  A simple agenda for a small group (or you + one ally) to stay action-oriented.

• Place Belief-Test Template
  A place-specific belief-test template (3–5 tests, falsifiable, updated quarterly).

• Modules Guide
  How to keep topic modules small (housing/childcare/transport/energy) without exploding the repo.

How to use (the 10-minute version)

1. Pick one place and one squeeze target for the quarter
2. Write a one-pager with one measurable ask
3. Show up (meeting / email / comment) and get an owner + date
4. Log it and update the scoreboard
5. Repeat monthly; update belief tests quarterly

Success criteria

This is working if:

• you can name the bottleneck in one sentence
• you can ask for one measurable change
• you have a follow-up date
• you’re building shared reality without contempt
