Goa Business Commons

A ₹5 lakh common fund for what Goan businesses buy and run together: a shared scooter, a trainer, one licence for several shops. Say what you'd share; the businesses vote; the fund pays the vendor.

Where the Commons is

Every registered business sits in its village or town. The lines join the businesses the most-backed proposal brings together. Tap a business to see what it needs and which proposals it is part of.

2 proposals businesses have put forward or lead, most backed first, and one of the 3 the AI twin drafted from their needs that nobody leads yet. Tap one to read it; the number is how many businesses back it, and tapping that adds yours.

What is an AI digital twin?

Behind the page is a digital twin of Goan businesses: a record of each business, what it said it needs, where it sits, and what the government already offers for that kind of thing, drawn from 770 Goa schemes read against every village and town.

An AI drafts proposals from the needs: when two shops say they need a fridge for the season, it writes one proposal for a shared cold store, prices it for Goa, and notes the scheme that could carry part of it. It never decides anything. A draft reaches the ballot only when a business leads it and others back it, and every proposal on this page says whether a person or the twin wrote it.

Before the first real business registered, we put a thousand simulated businesses through this same software and ran whole funding rounds, to see where the rules strain. The write-up is on the blog. The one thing no rule could fix: whether a business approves a plan that funded someone else's item. That is what the first real round will tell us.

Try the part of the twin each owner meets. Every business sets five trade-offs when it registers; two of them are here. Slide, and the draft the twin would show that business first changes, and the map above lights up the businesses it connects.

The fund pays vendors directly. Nothing moves until most of the businesses that vote approve the plan. The bar at the top is the live position.
