Inert source text, including its original formatting. It is not executed as page markup.
## Why it matters The [Silence About Failure](/diagnosis/silence-about-failure/) costs the field its most valuable data. If disclosure turns out to be rewarded, the incentive problem is smaller than people fear. If it’s punished, funders need to see that. ## Where to start Charitology’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.
