Support the Public-Interest Work
Help keep AI accountability public, understandable, and independent.
Patron support sustains the public-interest layer of FairByDesign — The Ethics Engine, open-access analysis, and selected educational resources on AI governance, privacy, security, and oversight.
Mercury Research
Mercury Research is the paid research layer — in-depth analysis, the premium archive, and implementation thinking for practitioners. It is a product you subscribe to for access.
Patronage
Patronage is different. It doesn’t buy research access — it sustains the public-interest work that stays open: The Ethics Engine, public analysis, and educational resources that anyone can use.
Two Ways to Support
Both sustain the same public-interest work. Choose the one that fits you.
Community Support Circle
For people who follow the work, use it, and want it to keep existing — supporter updates, early notice of public releases, and optional recognition.
Public-Interest Underwriting Circle
For backers who can steward the public-interest layer at scale — optional recognition, briefings, and the option to sponsor a theme. Pay by card, bank transfer, or request an invoice.
What Your Support Makes Possible
Open-Access Analysis
Public explainers, field notes, and briefings that keep AI governance legible without paywalling every useful insight.
The Ethics Engine
Podcast and public conversations connecting policy, risk, engineering, and lived reality in a form people can follow.
Independent, Year-Round
Room for honest public-interest work that stays independent of the vendors and institutions it examines.
Keep Accountability Public
Your support keeps public-interest analysis, education, and dialogue on AI governance, privacy, security, and accountability open and independent.
