Input Equity

Separate from outcome attribution, engage.re tracks what each participant contributes to an initiative — enabling fair recognition and equity distribution.

Two Different Questions

Outcome Attribution

"Who helped produce this change in the world?"

Tracked via contribution stories. Flows up hierarchies. Compares strategies.

See: Attribution

Input Equity

"What has each member put in?"

Tracked via contribution ledger. Internal to initiatives. Enables fair distribution.

The internal engine of fairness.

How Equity Is Calculated

User Slices = Σ (value × multiplier)

Equity Share = User Slices ÷ Total Slices

Live Example

Contributor	Type	Value	Multiplier	Slices
Alice	Time	40 hours	1×	40
Bob	Money	£500	2×	1000
Carol	Knowledge	Key design	1.5×	150
Dave	Connections	3 referrals	1.5×	45
Total Pool				1235

Bob's equity share = 1000 ÷ 1235 = 81%
Alice's equity share = 40 ÷ 1235 = 3.2%

How Contributions Are Recorded

Provenance	How Recorded
System Tracked	Automatic from task completion, payments, etc.
Peer Assessed	Other team members rate contributions
Self-Declared	Contributor logs their own input
