A Feature of Character Developer
Voice-Build™
Ensuring your voice and vision returns value
Your input becomes a product feature. Your verification earns credit. Your community shares in the value created.
Converting Voice of the Customer into Civic & Economic Value for All
What is Voice-Build?
Converting real-world commentary into civic & economic outcomes.
Voice-Build™ transforms public comments, posts, and transcripts into verified insights that power new product features for planning, transparency, and equity in the built environment.
When your input helps shape a feature, you’re credited and you share in the value it generates.
Why it matters
Visibility: Every contribution is tracked in the VoiceBuild Ledger.
Ownership: Verified contributors receive net payouts from each feature’s Feature Value Pool (FVP).
Action: Insights don’t sit in PDFs—they become live tools and policies.
Share Your Voice.
How it Works
1) Contribute
Submit pain points or ideas—or we detect them from public sources. Your comment appears as an ‘Insight Card’.
2) Verify & License
Claim the comment (one-time micro-fee), verify authorship, and grant a non-exclusive license so we can commercialize the insight and distribute payouts.
3) Earn with Impact
When a feature using your insight ships and generates value, payouts flow from its FVP—automatically and transparently.
The Voice-Build Marketplace
Market-priced insights. Transparent math.
Rubric score determines the intrinsic value of each card (relevance, actionability, etc.).
Community voting adds a market adjustment (±25% cap).
Every net +10 votes = +5% to the payout range; every net −10 = −5%.
Ranges shown on cards are net of the platform premium (currently 15% retained to fund scoring, fraud screening, payouts, and partner distribution).
Some analytics and action pathways are 🔒 Partner Mode only.
Device-level vote limits prevent manipulation; one active vote per card.
Marketplace Disclaimer: These are estimates only. Payouts derive from each feature’s Feature Value Pool (FVP)—a % of revenue or a sponsor-funded pool dedicated to credited contributors. Final amounts depend on actual revenues/pools, the number of credited contributors, and the public weighting rubric (Core vs Support). VoiceBuild™ math follows our published model. All comments are sourced from public databases, with anonymized credit to the commenter, awaiting verification. Download our Contribution Rubric here to see what comments are eligible for payout.

The Voice-Build Model
Each feature in Character Developer allocates a Feature Value Pool (FVP) — a small percentage of its revenue.
Core Insights (original ideas) earn higher weight.
Support Insights (endorsements, refinements) earn proportional weight.
Rewards are calculated with a transparent formula:
(ContributorWeight÷TotalWeights)
×FVP(Contributor Weight ÷ Total Weights)
×FVP(ContributorWeight÷TotalWeights)
×FVP
This makes the model modular, scalable, and fair across the entire product portfolio.

Why Voice-Build Is Different
The Problem with Legacy Models
For decades, communities have been asked to share their voices through surveys, charrettes, nonprofit initiatives, or public comment windows. While well-intentioned, these processes are slow, extractive, and rarely transformative. Feedback gets filtered into reports, buried in grant cycles, or overshadowed by institutional priorities.
The result: residents give their time and insights, but see little return — either in ownership or in meaningful outcomes.
Bottom Line
Old systems collect input and either —
bury it because the value wasn’t inherent to its leadership / productization, or
exploit it on the back end often narrowly brought to attention
Voice-Build transparently converts it into market-priced, actionable intelligence with shared upside through every transaction of value creation.
