Why BenBiz?
Begin with the problems of our time and why BenBiz proposes a fairer foundation for working and living together.
Open Why BenBiz?
BenBiz Reading Area · Living guide and source archive
Begin with the philosophy, method and principles BenBiz uses today. Then go as deeply as you need into English guides spanning participation, living community, ObaNova, founding texts, DÇM‑0.3, scenarios and working documents.


Istanbul Education Solidarity Circle
Educational texts, two posters and three original PDFs supplied by Şeref Gökmen and Elif Özcan. Read the original Turkish texts, view workshop photographs and explore the Istanbul circle.

The ground for participation · Shared Decisions
Make a question visible, improve a proposal together, cast your vote and follow what the decision becomes. Shared Decisions is where BenBiz finds its direction together.
Concrete examples, a 60% / 60% calculation to explore and a step-by-step participation route.
The current shared foundation comes first
The founding documents preserve how the thinking developed. These bilingual web journeys are the current starting points for BenBiz’s language, readiness distinctions and public paths.

Open Shared DecisionsReal questions instead of a long table of contents
You do not have to read everything from beginning to end. Open your question, see the short answer and continue only to the current page or source guide that helps.
In Shared Decisions, propose, discuss, vote and follow implementation across BenBiz, a circle or a learning group. The starting rule is 60% participation and 60% approval; explore it through examples.
The purpose is not merely to launch new projects. It is to connect people, work, ownership, decisions and nature through a fairer foundation.
It is a small working structure around a real need, a clear purpose, complementary resources and working terms discussed from the start.
Pay, expenses, a possible share of value created together and freely offered support do not disappear under one label. Each remains visible through its own terms and records.
DÇM‑0.3 evaluates one contribution event, not a person. Rights, value channels and scope are separated first; twenty criteria, evidence, two blind reviews and Justice Gates then prepare a reasoned human decision.
Ten hypothetical cases tested why pay, donation, care work, residual risk, high scores and founding work must not be pushed into the same pool. They show concretely why a score is never a decision by itself.
Criteria are known in advance, reasons enter the record and human approval remains essential. The right to challenge a result affecting someone is part of the method, not an exception.
Bursa Şifahane is the historical application example in the founding texts. Today’s preparation focuses on the Istanbul Education Solidarity Circle; terms will appear on its page as they are verified.
Yes. The Guest area is account-free. Every Explorer Member has a personal BenBiz identity and can follow open circle developments or contribute to the website, Reading Area and ObaNova without joining a circle. Private tasks and communication open only inside a circle that has approved you.
Store 0.4 is available today as an open-record catalogue and identity-bound contribution route, while prices, stock, baskets, orders and payments remain closed. BenAkçe and BenGram are not yet available money, gold, investment or payment products.
The original PDF preserves the history of the thinking; it is not a current list of rules or features. Use the dated web guide and the linked current page for today’s position while keeping the source unchanged beside them.
It stays alive when people can share their intentions and limits, complete small pieces of work together, see where their effort goes and return what they learn to the shared memory.
No. ObaNova is not a finished list of activities. The places, needs, knowledge and work people bring can become real small steps through Solidarity Circles. As needs emerge, different obas may grow in their own colours; shared principles, mutual help and learning keep them connected.
Three easy guides · two picture-first maps
Small, clear steps show which account you need and where to tap on the website and in the application—without burying you in a long manual.
See the difference between Guest, Explorer and circle member, including the conversation and approval path.

Open guide →An ecosystem that lives together
BenBiz stays alive when people are truly heard, take only what they can carry and can see who was helped by what they offered.
Being alive together does not mean everyone is always working. It means a need can be heard, the right people can meet freely and even a tiny step can leave something useful in our shared memory.
What do you have strength for, and what do you need today?
Let the right person, need or circle come into view.
Choose work you can carry without making a grand promise.
Learn where what you offered became useful.
Let the result return to the Reading Area and the next step.
Our first living project dossier
We do not hand people a ready-made list of activities. We keep the shared principles clear and look together for ways to connect a place, need, skill, work or idea with the right people.

Seven short headings show both today’s shared ground and an easy path into participation. You do not need to arrive with a finished project; saying what you hold and what is missing is enough.
A new current source cluster
We did not compress the philosophy, screen journey, test results, change memory and current technical boundary into one text. Each guide answers a different question; together they form the whole DÇM‑0.3 account.
See what the engine assesses, which rights remain outside scoring and how its four dimensions work.
Open guideFollow the path from a contribution event and evidence through two blind reviews and the Justice Gates.
Open guideCompare how one rule set distinguishes pay, donation, care, finance and founding work across S1–S10.
Open guideRead the shift from DÇM‑0.2 to DÇM‑0.3, the CAL‑001 decision and the version trail that preserves history.
Open guideSeparate what the laboratory actually does today from the entitlement and payment functions it does not yet perform.
Open guideA reading area is more than something to consume
Reading remains open to everyone. An Explorer Member account is enough to bring a gap, error, alternative interpretation or field example into shared memory; you do not need acceptance into a circle or an active task.
Open Reading Area contributions ↗Connect it to a guide and, if useful, a specific section; identify it as a question, clarity proposal, correction, objection, experience or source.
“My Reading Contributions” shows the editorial reply, requests for clarification, the result and the route for reconsideration.
A principle-level decision needs two independent reviewers; Turkish and English change together, while earlier editions remain in memory.
The public sees only approved notes, the contributor’s chosen attribution and the reasoned result. This path creates no likes, ranking, DÇM score, entitlement or payment.
Three paths from the founding texts to the living laboratory
A first-time reader and a team preparing to apply the method need different levels of detail. Begin with the current account, then move from the archive into current testing through the path that matches your question and time.
For first-time readers
See the need, understand the circle and discover what the invitation asks of you.

Fourteen founding sources · five living laboratory guides · one shared-life guide · one living project dossier · three getting-started guides
The getting-started guides make the path between website and application easier. The shared-life guide explores how BenBiz stays alive, the ObaNova dossier asks how that intention can touch the earth, and the archive preserves how the thinking developed.

Shared language
The point is not to memorise terminology, but to preserve the differences between concepts. Each definition opens the relevant guide.
The common direction describing for whom, for which need and within which limits a circle works.

Read the related guide →From the text to the table
The aim is not to persuade everyone. First understand the same thing; then discuss objections, proposals and practice.
Explain the central idea in your own words. Distinguish understanding from repetition.
Which open question from the previous text does this guide complete?
An unclear point, a risk and an objection are not the same. Discuss them separately.
What behaviour, rule, task or screen should make this principle real?
Let a meeting leave behind more than a good conversation: shared understanding, open questions and clarity about who carries the next step.
Open the working guide →From reading to shared work
If a concept is unclear, an older expression no longer fits today’s method or a new example could strengthen the account, use the path that lets you see what becomes of your contribution.
