The moral and strategic compass of Unitics.org. The sole filter through which membership, partnership, and investment decisions are made. This Framework is immutable.
People & Society
The mandate to enhance human potential, promote equity, protect dignity, and foster the conditions for all people to flourish. It is the mandate to serve the human spirit and social fabric.
Planet & Environment
The mandate to actively regenerate, thoughtfully steward, or significantly reduce harm to the Earth's living systems — its climate, biodiversity, soil, water, and air.
Knowledge & Legacy
The mandate to preserve and advance the collective inheritance of sentient beings — protecting our intellectual, cultural, and natural inheritance across generations.
A venture need not serve all three pillars simultaneously. However, a venture must demonstrate significant positive impact within at least one pillar while demonstrating negligible harm in the other two. A venture that actively harms one pillar cannot compensate by excelling in another.
Evaluation considers not only current state but also demonstrated intention (mission alignment), latent potential (capacity for future impact), and operational productivity (ability to execute efficiently).
Evaluators assess whether the venture demonstrates an understanding of interconnectedness — whether its business model acknowledges second-order effects on broader social and ecological systems.
Any venture whose business model relies on the extraction, exploitation, or commodification of personal data without transparent, revocable consent shall be deemed prima facie ineligible, regardless of other alignment.
Apply for membership and our Membership Committee will assess your venture's alignment with the 3H Framework.
