A mark for work a person actually did.
The pledge is one sentence:
"A human being made this — with skill, with time, and with their name on it."
Machines are about to flood every market with almost-good-enough everything. The response isn't to hide from the tools. It's to say, out loud, which parts of your work only a person could have done — and to put a mark on it that means something.
The tile that's flat, the weld that holds, the floor that cures true. No robot kneels in your customer's shower.
Woodwork, leather, pottery, quilts — the things people buy because a person touched them.
Work with a pulse in it. Declared honestly — including which tools helped and which didn't.
Baked at 4 AM by somebody, not fulfilled by anybody.
The first hundred makers and tradespeople to sign will shape the pledge and carry the mark first — free for as long as the mark exists. Tell us what you make and where you make it, and you're on the list; badges go out to the founding hundred first, as soon as they're ready.
