Ask better questions.
Could these 120 homes be affordable? Connect the evidence, challenge the assumptions and see what the plan still needs.

Curated background links and clearly marked fictional examples. Automated discovery and claim matching are planned.
02 / IMPROVE TOGETHER
Different views.
Better plans.
Listen to a concern. Add a condition. See the plan change. A real pol.is conversation would test which ideas people share.

Fictional perspectives. Your choices do not imply anyone else agrees.

STATION QUARTER / V1
One site. The same 120 homes.
60 rentals and 60 homes for sale on a former depot beside a station in an unnamed Dutch town. Rents, sale prices, funding and the detailed design are still open.
Fictional site and invented figures. This is not a cost estimate, an investment case or an approved project.
| Assumption | Amount |
|---|---|
| Total | €36m |
New conditions do not silently change this total. Their costs and funding still need review.
Try improving the plan. Then help us prepare a real conversation.

PROPOSAL V1
Build 120 homes on a former depot beside a railway station.
YOUR STARTING VIEW
A starting view is not a vote for every detail. Explore the conditions below.
DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVES. ONE QUESTION.
Where do we connect?
Sample agreementOther sample responses
72 fictional participants. Fixed example groups. Your answers stay separate.
WHAT DO YOU THINK?
Illustrative pol.is-style experience. Your answers stay in this session.
SAMPLE COMMON GROUND
Agree on
the conditions.
These three principles have at least 80% support in each fictional group. They do not settle the number of social homes, the design or funding.
The housing conversation ↗And where do people still disagree?
Shared principles do not resolve every distributional choice. Objections and minority perspectives stay attached to the proposal.
YOUR NEXT STEP

better.

FROM DEMO TO PARTICIPATION
Your input should have a visible next step.
For the pilot, we want every finding linked to a change, an open question or an explanation of why it was not adopted.
03 / ORGANISE INFLUENCE
Your people.
Your topics.
Follow one person on housing and another on the economy. Our ambition: representation you can choose and change by topic.

Fictional profiles & AI-generated portraits · Local demoHow following could become representation
Following someone's work, supporting a proposal and delegating a decision are separate choices. We want to explore revocable, topic-specific representation, with transparent mandates and democratic safeguards. No voting power is delegated in this demo.

The people and plan behind Consenza
OUR PROPOSED FIRST PILOT
One real decision.
A better way forward.
Which changes would make one housing plan work for more people?
We are seeking a municipality to examine one housing proposal with home seekers, residents, builders, housing associations and independent researchers.

02LearnTrace evidence, agreement and objections.
03RespondA named decision owner explains what changes.
Seeking a pilot partner. No municipality or project confirmed.
Real people. Fair participation.
TRUST STARTS WITH THE FOUNDATIONS
Real people.
Everyone counts.
Verified participation. Private identities. A clear view of whose perspectives are missing.
Proposed sign-in route. Consenza is not connected to DigiD. Verification cannot guarantee the absence of manipulation.
