Participation follows one order and it does not vary. A coordinator verifies the farm in person. Its production cycle is proposed as a project, with its costs and terms stated. The Clan argues and votes. Only then can members take part, and only in a project they chose themselves.
Most platforms in this space do one or two of these and leave the rest to trust. The order below is the order they happen to a project.
A coordinator visits the farm and records what they found, before anything is proposed.
The Clan raises, seconds, argues and votes — on a Clan Pass. Nothing opens for participation before that finishes.
Pass holders choose an approved project and how much to commit, at or above the minimum it sets.
Daily reports and coordinator visits stay attached to the project they belong to.
A completed cycle is accounted for against what the project said it would cost.
The outcome is shared proportionally, on the terms stated before approval.
Every stage below is something the platform actually does. A stage nobody has built would be a promise, so there are none here.
A coordinator visits in person and records evidence against the farm.
The production cycle is put forward with its costs and its terms.
Raised, seconded, then argued for and against on the record.
Clan Pass holders vote. A proposal that does not pass does not proceed.
Pass holders choose the project and commit at or above its minimum.
Inputs reach the farm and are recorded against the project.
Daily reports and further coordinator visits stay attached to it.
Produce is sold, and what it sold for is recorded.
The cycle is accounted for and the outcome shared proportionally.
Membership, participation, the wider ecosystem, the technology and the farms are kept apart on purpose, so that no one of them can quietly do another's job.

Membership credential
The ZIMOVERSE membership credential. It identifies you as a Zimo Clan Federation member and carries two rights: a vote on proposals, including raising one, and the right to take part in a project the Clan has approved.
It carries a membership fee, set by the clan and paid when membership is approved. Beyond the fee it is earned rather than applied for: a member on the clan roll with a verified identity is issued one without having to ask. It can be withdrawn without removing somebody from the roll.
Every line here is something the platform genuinely does not do.
Participation needs membership, and membership comes through a cooperative in the ecosystem. A farmer with land to bring applies instead.
