This is what you can use to invite your first 5–10 people:

Founding Member – Researcher Hub
Participatory Knowledge Systems Pilot Cohort

The Founding Member – Researcher Hub is an invitation-only pilot cohort for individuals who want to participate in building a new discipline of embedded, participatory field research.

Founding Members are not influencers or followers. They are co-researchers who commit to:

Documenting their lived experience inside real-world systems
Practicing ethical self-observation and reflection
Participating in shared inquiry and method development
Testing tools for longitudinal self-study and community knowledge-building
Founding Members may engage in applied work such as mobile lab services, courier-based field research, health insight pilots, and documentation practices. The purpose is to develop real-world case studies, refine ethical research protocols, and co-create participatory tools that others can later adopt.

This hub serves as the seed group for a broader research network. Members help shape the governance, ethics, language, and structure of the ecosystem before it scales publicly.

Participation is voluntary, consent-based, and grounded in mutual respect. The goal is not productivity for its own sake, but building an ethical foundation for a new way of doing research in the open.
