The layer that makes
governance visible.
Property management handles daily operations. CivilEdge is the place for the shared decision: what was proposed, what supported it, who had authority, whether the group had enough participation, and what happened next.
That lets CivilEdge work beside a property manager, bookkeeper, cap table, or no administrative system at all.
The slash suggests a decision brought to resolution; the dot is what remains: a clear place to return to.
One decision, one clear thread
Bring the question,
the people, and the result together.
Let the right people respond
Give members a clear deadline, role, and way to participate.
Keep the outcome usable
Leave behind the decision, next step, and record someone can return to.
A better shared record
More trust should feel
like less work.
Explore how the same planning framework changes for a small association, a larger community, an investment group, a syndication, or a joint LLC.
Open the guided demosOne system, right-sized
Built for the size
of the shared stake.
The circles on the left show an example size or range: homes, investors, or ownership interests. In Base Ten, joint owners count as one unit unless they hold separate interests. The structure follows the shared stake—not the group-text headcount.
Real estate investments
For owners making decisions together. Start with a ten-member Joint LLC, then explore an investment circle and a larger syndication.

Ten units. Deciding and collaborating seamlessly.
A $24,000 shared entrance upgrade. Review the plan, collect votes, and save the outcome.
Quorum: 6 of 10 units. Approval: 6 yes votes.
Everyone sees this rule before voting. Abstentions count toward quorum, but not approval. These are example agreement terms.
- 01Proposal shared
- 02Votes arrive
- 03Voting closes
- 04Record saved
Everyone starts with the same proposal and the same decision rule.
People and ownership are different
Unit 03 has two joint owners and one ballot. Units 01 and 02 share an owner, but each unit keeps its entitlement. The percentage schedule is an illustrative allocation of shared area; it does not imply that an LLC member owns a particular apartment.
In the automatic example, seven units vote yes: 7 of 10 passes the equal-vote rule, while their combined 58% falls short of the percentage rule. Switch rules and replay to compare.
Simulation only. No real ballots, encryption, bank transfers, or legal eligibility checks. Leaving this demo or refreshing resets the animation and its ballots.
A plan for transparency and accountability
Make the process
easier to follow.
The production system is intended to show the rule, evidence, participation, approvals, and final record without exposing information a member does not need to see. The current site demonstrates that workflow; it does not yet provide production privacy or cryptographic verification.
Planned private-ballot flow
Know your vote was included.
- Check eligibility separately.A production system would issue a single-use voting credential.
- Detach identity from ballot content.The used credential and the ballot would be stored in separate systems.
- Issue a receipt number.It would identify an accepted ballot—not the voter or choice.
- Publish the final receipt set.A voter could find their number while an authorized inspector retains appropriate review access.

01Private-ballot design
A private ballot with a receipt.
The planned voting design checks eligibility, issues a one-time voting pass, and separates identity from ballot content. A receipt number is intended to let a voter confirm inclusion without revealing the choice.
Goal: confirm acceptance and inclusion02Privacy by role
Payment status without a public list.
The planned access model gives authorized finance roles individual account details. Other members see useful totals without a public list of names. Payment status and voting rights remain separate.
Goal: show status, not names03Clear decision rules
The right rule for each decision.
Each proposal can state who may vote, when it closes, the participation required, and what it takes to pass. Production enforcement of those rules remains implementation work.
Plan: notice, quorum, and threshold checks04Controlled spending
Evidence before payment.
The workflow keeps bids, scope, insurance, conflicts, invoices, milestones, and approvals together. A production payment integration would still need server-side permissions and bank-side controls.
Plan: evidence → approval → payment05Tamper-evident design
Edits leave fingerprints.
The planned record design gives each canonical entry a timestamp and SHA-256 fingerprint linked to the prior entry. External copies or anchors are still needed to make later changes independently detectable.
Goal: detect changed or missing entries06Different groups, different rules
A versatile platform for various scenarios.
An association, investment group, cooperative, or nonprofit can map its own notices, voting, approvals, records, and access rules. Those profiles require review against governing documents and applicable law.
Plan: reviewed, versioned rulesSoftware, implementation, and support
A clear process.
And help putting it to work.
Groups can begin with a workflow review: governing documents, decision types, roles, privacy needs, and payment controls. From there, CivilEdge can be configured as software the group runs itself or paired with implementation support.
A practical launch
From governing documents
to a working shared record.
Nothing becomes an automated rule until the collective can see it, understand it, and approve it.
- 01
Map the authority
Gather the operating agreement, bylaws, policies, ownership roster, signing authority, and the laws that shape the collective.
- 02
Configure the rules
Translate notice windows, quorum, thresholds, privacy, conflicts, retention, and payment controls into a reviewable workspace profile.
- 03
Bring people in
Verify roles, import current records, explain what each person can see, and run a small practice decision before anything consequential.
- 04
Run the work
Move proposals, votes, vendor packets, approvals, transfers, and records requests through the agreed process—with help available when needed.
- 05
Close the record
Publish the outcome, issue individual receipts, export the audit record, and schedule the next review of rules and access.

Who usually starts the conversation
Organization-led.
Member-friendly.
The organization usually adopts the system because it owns the process and the record. A board member, manager, investor, attorney, bookkeeper, or resident may be the first person to identify the need.
Begin with the people responsible for governance.
Association boards and management firms; syndication sponsors and fund administrators; LLC managers; cooperative, nonprofit, and investment-committee leaders.
Planning question: where do procedural gaps, unclear authority, or scattered records create the most risk?Earn referrals from the people already in the room.
Association counsel, securities and real-estate attorneys, CPAs, bookkeepers, election inspectors, property managers, and fund-administration partners.
Planning question: which reviewed rules and professional advice should become repeatable workflow?Educate consumers; let them bring the idea inward.
Plain-language guides, receipt checks, decision checklists, and a “bring CivilEdge to your board or manager” path—useful without asking one resident to buy the whole system.
Planning question: what should a member be able to understand, confirm, or question without special access?
