Transparency ledger / 2026-02

Ledger 2026-02

Closed and final. This month was locked at 2026-10-05T18:15:23.349Z under the lock-before-sweep rule: every payout's allocation is locked before its transfer, and each listed recipient's share is sent directly from the fees account in a transfer normally initiated on the 25th of the month the payout is credited, within thirty days of its credit; a month's payouts may be locked together when no payout's deadline is missed. Nothing here can change: a later correction is a new row in a later month.

Where the month went

Three kinds of outgoing line and nothing else: the month’s running-cost invoices charged to fees — people included, as an ordinary cost class inside the one cap — the operations reserve’s retention, and one transfer per listed recipient, directly from the fees account, no intermediary, no roll-forward. Each is its own row, published even when it stands at zero.

Each line is the magnitude of its row; the row itself carries the direction, and every line links to it.

Line	What it is	Amount	Date	Row
Operations reserve retention	the operations reserve’s retention — at most a published share of the month’s Purpose Fees until the reserve holds its target; its own line even at zero (statutes Art. 6g)	CHF 0	2026-10-05	led_3mfpbhz3…

The rules this month was closed under

The constants the allocation ran under, as the month published them. No cap is ever raised for a purchase already made; a figure the published policy does not record is absent here rather than guessed.

Read from this month’s published artifact.

Annual cap on running costs charged to fees, people included	15% of the financial year’s Purpose Fees
Reserve retention ceiling	5% of the month’s Purpose Fees
Reserve target	CHF 27'000
Allocation algorithm	ALLOC-v1

Rows carrying a figure

Rows carrying a statement

A row with no figure is still a row: it is hashed, sequenced and permanent. Locks, recorded facts, annotations — and the two capped lines when they stand at zero, with the rule that keeps them there — live here.

How this month was produced

Append-only: a committed row is never edited or deleted. Corrections are new rows; annotations render as annotations, never as edits (FS07-042).
Row hashes chain globally in seq order: rowHash = SHA-256(prevHash ‖ JCS(row minus its two hash fields)), RFC 8785 canonical JSON. The published row is the hashed row — the same member names, nothing renamed on the way out — plus its date, which sits outside the hashed body. Drop those three and the chain re-walks from the export alone.
Month digest: SHA-256 of the RFC 8785 canonical text of this month’s rows as published here — an array in seq order, complete rows including their two hash fields.
Lock before sweep, one clock per payout: each payout’s allocation is locked before its transfer, and each listed recipient’s share is sent directly from the fees account in a transfer normally initiated on the 25th of the month the payout is credited, within thirty days of its credit. Allocation data arriving after the lock counts for the next month, forward-only; a reversal after a transfer is a forward-only row, and nothing is clawed back from a recipient.
The annual cap on direct costs charged to fees: charged to fees is the period’s itemised direct invoices paid from the fees account that no listed supporter settled — including the transfer charges on the outbound transfers — one row per invoice, tested against the cap over the financial year, never a percentage of the pool.
The whole methodology, in words: where the money goes.
