Universal evaluation engine.
Impact. Externalities. Cobenefits.
Accounting for impact, beyond GDP.
Putting nature on the balance sheet.
Ensuring free markets account for the true full real cost.
Accounting for triple bottom line (people, planet, profit) has been an unsolved problem until now...
Some things in the current economic system are legal and profitable because they do not account for full cost, that is externalized to nature (that is not an infinite resource).Illustrative example of value system and economics:
• Fresh air: no value.
• Polluted air: disease, medical bills, good for the economy 🤷Another example (from IMF) is the value of an elephant:
(it is much more than the black market price for ivory, meat, skin)
The opioid epidemics and addiction as business model is even more extreme, all this human suffering has negative value to families, communities, society at large.

Climate emergency
In order address the climate situation we need to address the underlying root causes, such as economic system that is programmed for infinite growth, without taking into account the externalities - we tackling the root causes and we genuinely believe that BaseX is an important part of civilisational infrastructure serving humanity.
Origins of the BaseX
Climate change:
• Tipping points
• Feedback loops
• Non-linear changes
• Noone in charge, noone has a clue
• Metacrisis, polycrysis, everything crisisConclusion: We need to have a backup civilization on Mars, before we go extinct on Earth.But that presents a dilemma:
A. Work on climate change on Earth, slow down the collapse, get us more time to go to Mars
B. Focus on Mars directly, surely in the process we will discover some new tech that will make life on Earth more user-friendlySo do you work on climate change or on backup civilization? What if you could have both?BaseX, the universal evaluation engine, is a project that is practical to solve climate change and at the same time will be useful with the backup civilization on Mars.You can also trace origin of the name:• SpaceX: making life multiplanetary
• BaseX: making life multiplanetary, starting from the Earth
Dispute resolution and "Network of Trust" approach
Currently critital part of the instructure is down. Read the blogpost with post-mortem, resolving as we speak.Temporary setback as opportunity to re-architect our dispute resolution process, towards "Network of Trust", we are in discussion with ETH Denver buildathon winners, check the presentation:
We are in this together
Partner with BaseX
We are looking to partner with philanthropic donors to help them in measuring impact.Our first partner is Climate Coordination Network.
We are in this together
Open-source public good with sustainable business model
We are open-source, building in public and we treat our work as public good from the very beginning.Even though we are not a typical 100x VC backed startup we have a number of way how the BaseX is going to generate the revenue which will be sufficient to sustain and grow the operations.The TIMING is excellent, the TIMING is the most reliable factor to determine whether the startup succeed, check this TED talk.Slide from the pitcheck:
