Mock data
Individual versus group products
The individual products have one payer. The group products have several contributors and a recorded governance rule.
Why it matters
Group money needs recorded decision rules. Without them, an organizer's good intention becomes someone else's suspicion.
How it works
- 1Group SecureLink: many contributors, one governed purpose.
- 2Group SecureFlow: many contributors, several recipients or responsibilities.
- 3In both, organizers propose and the recorded governance rule decides what approval is required.
A practical example
A Varsityville estate collects for CCTV cameras. Contributions come from many households, and two organizer approvals — one of them the treasurer — are required before a supplier stage is approved.
Common misunderstanding
Contributors sometimes believe that contributing gives them authority over the purpose. It does not; the governance rule does.
What to check before acting
- Read the published purpose and the governance rule before contributing.
- Check who the organizers are and whether they have accepted.
