Algorithms don’t care about good intentions. They reward content that wins attention and travels beyond the base. This pilot helps civic teams build measurable mainstream traction with a repeatable testing system

Pilot Cohort (Spring 2026)
Why “good information” keeps losing
Platforms optimise for engagement mechanics, not virtue
Most campaigns measure outputs (posts, impressions) not audience shift
Messaging stays segment-blind, so it performs inside the base and dies outside it
What this pilot is
Audience reality check: map reachable persuadable segments by motivation and media behaviour
Narrative hypotheses: develop competing message angles designed for social currency not internal consensus
Rapid testing: run controlled tests in real distribution, iterate weekly based on performance
Traction system: hand over templates, cadence and decision rules so your team can keep doing it
Who it’s for
Civil society orgs, foundations, civic-tech initiatives, public-interest media
Teams with a real narrative challenge and the ability to ship content weekly
What you need to bring
One clear objective (what shift you want)
Access to your channels and analytics
A delivery lead (someone who can execute between sessions)
