The Basics

Three things worth knowing.

01

What is the Commons?

The POCITS Commons is your county's transmedia infrastructure — a permanent, community-owned layer covering directories, commerce, media, health, governance, knowledge, and AI. Your listing doesn't scroll off a feed. It persists. The county owns the channels, not a distant corporation.

02

Who is it for?

Every resident, business, and organisation in your county has a place here. Residents discover local services, connect with community, and access approved AI tools. Businesses advertise and sell. Organisations publish programs, events, and records. The Commons serves all three simultaneously.

03

What does it cost?

Claiming your presence is free. One Bizcard gives you a listing across every relevant hub — visible to every member in your county. Reaching further costs when you choose it. Advertising starts under a dollar a day for county-wide reach. You only pay for distribution. Presence is always free.

The Hubs

Eleven layers of community life.

Every hub covers a distinct domain of civic and economic life in your county — from buying and selling to governance and AI. One commons. Everything your county needs.

The Bizcard

One presence. Eleven hubs.

The Bizcard is your single control panel across the entire POCITS Commons. Claim it once — for free — and you appear in every hub relevant to what you do. A restaurant is in BOOK, MALL, and MEDI. A community event is in CMTY, TOPX, and STRM. You don't manage eleven listings. You manage one.

CHAT Hub — Governed AI Discovery

The world's first community-governed AI marketplace.

CHAT is where your county discovers and governs its AI tools. Anthropic, OpenAI, Canva, Perplexity — AI companies earn their place in your community the same way businesses earn theirs in BOOK: by participating in the county economy. County delegates vote on which tools are listed, featured, or restricted. The attention AI companies spend to reach your community stays in your county. Not in Silicon Valley.

"The community owns the channel. AI companies pay to be in it."
The Economics

The commons runs on your county's economy.

Every hub in the Commons uses the same revenue architecture. When businesses, organisations, and AI companies advertise across the POCITS Commons, 80% of every dollar stays in your county reserve — funding community programs, services, and infrastructure. The rest keeps the platform running. No extractive intermediary. No value leaving the community.

80%

County reserve

Of every advertising dollar stays in your county — funding WeCare grants, community programs, and county infrastructure.

$0

Cost to list

Directory presence across the Commons is always free. Every resident, business, and organisation claims their place at no cost.

11

Hubs, one reserve

All 11 hubs feed the same county reserve. BOOK advertising, CHAT AI sponsorships, STRM video ads — all contribute to the same community fund.

Your place in the commons

Three ways in.

The Commons is built for every member of the community. Here's what it means for each of you.

🏘️

Residents

Discover local businesses, healthcare providers, events, and services — all in one place, all from your county. Your Commons is the permanent record of your community's economy and culture. Follow what matters. Access the AI tools your county has approved. Contribute to the knowledge that future residents will inherit.

Businesses

Eighty percent of your ad spend stays in the county, funding the same community your business depends on. You're not renting space from a corporation. You're investing in your own community infrastructure.
