The founders

Built by many hands. Yours can be one of them.

NAP is a prototype for a shared standard. The people who examine it, challenge it, and improve it are its founders — and they're named for it. This is how a framework earns the trust to become real.

How recognition works

Three ways to be a founder.

Founding Signatory
You've added your name in support of the framework and its mission. The public record of who stood here at the beginning.
Contributor
You brought an idea that was reviewed and accepted into the framework. Your name appears on the principle you shaped.
Architect
You made a major, sustained contribution to the canon. Reserved for the few who help build whole sections of the standard.
A real bar, on purpose. You join the wall after a verified endorsement or an accepted contribution — never just an email. A small wall of real builders is worth more than a long list of names.

It begins here.
