The People
Meet the people behind the Acacia Initiative — the team building the institutional infrastructure for the Judgment Economy.
The Core Argument
The Acacia Initiative is built by a team of practitioners, researchers, and designers committed to building the institutional infrastructure for the Judgment Era.
The Judgment Economy cannot be built by one person or one organisation. It requires collaboration across disciplines, sectors, and institutions. Our team reflects this diversity.
We come from different backgrounds.
Our team includes experts in decision science, AI governance, institutional economics, organisational design, public policy, and technology. We are practitioners, researchers, and designers. We are builders.
Team Principles
The values that guide how we work together.
Collaboration
We believe that the best work comes from collaboration across disciplines, sectors, and perspectives. We seek out diverse voices and views.
Evidence
We are grounded in evidence. We test our ideas, learn from what works and what does not, and refine our approach over time.
Accountability
We hold ourselves accountable. We are transparent about our work, our progress, and our challenges. We welcome scrutiny.
Humility
We do not have all the answers. We are learning, testing, and refining our work. We welcome critique and collaboration.
