Transparency

Transparency isn’t a feature of this project — it’s the foundation. People deserve to see how decisions are made, why they’re made, and who is making them.

The WV Clarity Project is built on the belief that learning and understanding only work when the process itself is open. We are not a media outlet, and we are not here to act as gatekeepers of information. Instead, we are building a resource that helps people learn how to understand their world for themselves — starting in West Virginia, but never limited to it.

How We Make Decisions

As this project grows, a small board will guide major decisions. Every significant choice — from what resources we create, to how we operate, to how we engage with communities — will be documented and made publicly available. Our goal is to show our work, not hide behind it.

Board decisions will be published in a simple, accessible format so anyone can see:

We believe that if we expect clarity from others, we must model it ourselves.

Our Commitment to Informed Choices

Every resource we create — whether it’s an interview, a guide, or a community tool — is designed to help people make informed decisions. Not decisions we want them to make, but decisions that reflect their own values, experiences, and goals.

We will always:

West Virginia First — But Not West Virginia Only

This project begins in West Virginia because this is home. These are the people and communities we understand most deeply. But the tools we build — the guides, the explanations, the learning resources — are designed to be useful to anyone, anywhere.

Our focus is WV issues, WV voices, and WV clarity. But the skills we teach and the resources we create are universal: understanding systems, asking better questions, finding reliable information, and building stronger communities.

Why Transparency Matters

People can only learn, grow, and act confidently when they trust the process. By making our decisions, methods, and reasoning public, we hope to build a space where trust isn’t demanded — it’s earned.

Transparency is how we stay accountable. Clarity is how we stay grounded. And community is how we move forward.
