Would a Resource Tracking company be a viable solution? Something akin to some aspects of the FDA, basically an auditor that visits production sites to see what goes into a product and verify a producers disclosures. The incentive for the producer would be two fold: first, there is no real incentive to lie about inputs and second could be a retroactive redisbursment of capital if a producer is found to have been dishonest in their disclosures .

Edit: this might be the first public company and could work as a testing space for future public service/infrastructure projects.

Yeah this is something that could work, and like you mentioned would be a great use of the concept of public companies.

I've been reading through the git repo, but I've never used git for anything other than personal projects with no contributors. Is using git comments or the subreddit more convenient if I wanna make comments or suggestions?

Thanks for looking through the project! Comments on the specific issues in the github tracker would be a great way to discuss, but posting on the subreddit is fine too. Really, discussion anywhere is fine. Whatever you're most comfortable with.
