If disclosure turns out to be rewarded, the incentive problem is smaller than people fear. If it’s punished, funders need to see that.\n\n## Where to start\n\nCharitology’s [Failure Archive](/record/failure-archive/) is the commons in seed form. Pair it with a funder pledge not to penalize honest disclosure, and measure what happens.\n"
