Open Honest Foundation
Structural correctness for software, measurement instruments, and distributed knowledge systems.
Open Honest Foundation holds the open standards and certification programs of the Honest project: a framework for code that is correct by design, an audit instrument for measuring code against published compliance thresholds, and an experimental platform for cross-linguistic intelligence research. All three operate in tools and languages teams already use, not by switching to academic languages most teams cannot adopt.
The Foundation is small on purpose. Its rules cannot be changed by any future vote, by any commercial interest, or by the trustees themselves. It exists to keep the standards from being captured, watered down, or pulled away from their mission.
The Foundation is currently in formation. Fiscal sponsorship through an established public-interest open-source fiscal host is being pursued. Legal incorporation is planned for 2026–2027.
