What social change we want to cause is: a) decided democratically by those who have done the work. b) subject to a rigorous "theory of change" (of the kind used by charities and the third sector) to decide on potential impacts and side effects of any change caused and to measure how much change has been caused.

So we don't just do change for changes sake but try and cause positive social change. We talk about this internally a lot and have robust consent based decision making processes to be "checks and balances" on these matters.

I see. Sounds like "very rigorous maritime engineering standards".
