Mandate
Each polis has a 1000-citizen Assembly responsible for budget decisions, Tier-4 votes, trustee veto override, and published aggregate outcomes.
Citizen Assembly
One thousand citizens govern each polis.
The Citizen Assembly convenes by stratified sortition, deliberates budget and Tier-4 questions, tallies votes, and publishes aggregate decisions only.
Privacy boundary
Assembly public records include motion ids, aggregate vote counts, decision text, and 0 per-citizen rows. They do not publish names, addresses, contact details, citizen ids, or private votes.
Sortition source
Members are drawn from active citizens by age band, neighborhood band, residency years, gender aggregate, and format preference with a 5 percentage-point tolerance.
Per-polis minutes
Aggregate decisions only
The source minutes are published as minutes.json. Rows never include per-citizen records or private vote rows.
