Research & Impact
Eight Forms of Capital
Green Goods uses a holistic framework for impact measurement:
Living Capital: Biodiversity, ecosystems
Material Capital: Physical resources
Financial Capital: Money and assets
Social Capital: Relationships, community
Intellectual Capital: Knowledge, skills
Experiential Capital: Wisdom, practices
Spiritual Capital: Meaning, purpose
Cultural Capital: Traditions, identity
Origin: From Ethan Roland and Gregory Landua's work in regenerative design.
Application in Green Goods:
Actions tagged by relevant capitals
Assessments measure across all capitals
Holistic impact tracking
User Research
User Personas
Gardener: Maria
Conservation volunteer
Uses smartphone primarily
Limited tech experience
Needs simple, offline-capable tools
Operator: David
Community coordinator
Manages local restoration project
Web3 familiar
Needs efficient review tools
Evaluator: Dr. Chen
Environmental researcher
Needs verifiable data
Comfortable with APIs
Values transparency
Design Principles
1. Mobile-First
Why: Conservation work happens in the field, not at desks.
How: Touch-optimized UI, camera-centric, minimal typing.
2. Offline-Capable
Why: Remote areas lack reliable connectivity.
How: Local-first storage, background sync, resilient design.
3. Simple Over Complex
Why: Reduce barriers to impact documentation.
How: MDR workflow (3 steps), clear language, guided flows.
4. Transparent & Verifiable
Why: Build trust with funders and community.
How: On-chain attestations, public data, open source.
5. Community-Governed
Why: Local communities know their needs best.
How: Operator validation, garden autonomy, no central authority.
