Round Table Solutions from Echo Harbor LLC - Fairness, Trust and Transparency

RoundTable rests on three philosophical principles that define its entire design. First, fairness as infrastructure — the recognition that in high-stakes coordination, legitimacy is the product. A surgeon doesn't just need OR time; she needs proof that she wasn't passed over unfairly. A voter doesn't just need a poll; he needs confidence his voice counted. RoundTable treats "provable fairness" as a technical requirement, not a nice-to-have.

Second, trust as progressive verification. Traditional systems force a choice: require identity verification upfront (exclusionary) or allow anonymous participation (vulnerable to fraud). RoundTable resolves this with gamified trust scoring. New users can participate immediately at 0.1x vote weight. As they verify email, phone, identity — as they engage consistently over time — their weight increases to 1.0x. Past votes are retroactively upgraded when trust increases, so users aren't penalized for being new. Trust becomes something you build, transparently and progressively, rather than something you assume or deny.

Third, transparency over outcomes. RoundTable doesn't just show results — it shows why those results occurred. Every decision generates a cryptographic audit trail: the inputs (who voted, how they ranked), the algorithm (how preferences were weighted), the outputs (who was selected), and the justification (why Provider A got the slot over Provider B). This isn't for Claude's benefit or the platform's — it's for the skeptical surgeon, the losing candidate, the regulatory auditor who needs proof.
