Real-Life Clarity · Real-Life Action · One Step at a Time

Parallel systems
are being built.

A.Billi traces every dollar you spend through the corporate chain to the jurisdiction it lands in — and connects you with the neighbours building what comes next. Shifting spending. Backing local. Building alternatives.

01 · The frame

All of our problems
are systemic.

So the answer can't be individual guilt or a better hashtag. It has to be a system.

02 · The move

Then we move,
systematically.

Away from the broken ones. Toward the ones we build with each other.

03 · The shape

A more humane system,
that adapts per node.

Because one size doesn't fit all. If you have a better idea, present it to your community.

04 · The horizon

Parallel systems that
last generations beyond us.

Because we have more in common than we do apart. And we don't need corporations to do it.

Five strengths · open the app

Here's what you can do
right now with A.Billi.

Each one lives at the moment of decision — scanning a receipt, choosing an alternative, joining a campaign, naming a gap. Frictionless. Privacy-forward. Never social.

01 Track your purchasing power

See where your money actually goes.

Scan a receipt. Watch the dot move from the merchant up the ownership chain to the jurisdiction your dollars ultimately reach. The donut tells you the share. The list lets you sit with it.

Lifetime tracking, daily and monthly breakdowns, terminal-jurisdiction view. The chain ends somewhere real — a holding company in Cayman, a parent in Delaware, a co-op in Nanaimo. A.Billi doesn't editorialize. It shows you the path you couldn't see before.

  • Receipt scan, barcode lookup, or CSV import — bring your history
  • Animated money-flow from store → parent → ultimate owner → jurisdiction
  • Every step sourced from SEC EDGAR, SEDAR, Competition Bureau filings

02 See who benefits

Which billionaires profit from your purchases.

Tap any brand. A.Billi unfolds the chain — labelled steps, named entities, sourced filings — all the way up to the ultimate beneficial owner.

318 companies mapped. 39 major shareholders. 630 brand mappings. Every claim falsifiable. Every claim citable. Corrections runbook is a public document.

  • Brand → parent → grandparent → ultimate owner, named
  • Public actions inline: rulings, labour disputes, antitrust findings
  • "Source: Competition Bureau Canada" — not vibes, receipts

03 Vote — and give your reason

Choose what to refuse, and say why.

Boycotting is half the move. Naming why is the rest. A.Billi runs a Polis-style consensus protocol: every campaign has a reasons board where members write short statements, and others vote agree, disagree, or pass.

The reasons most people across factions can agree on rise to the top. Bridging statements — the ones that find common ground — get surfaced. The campaign carries those reasons forward, not the loudest voices.

  • Reasons board, not a like-graph
  • Bridging statements surfaced — what most of us actually agree on
  • Phase-gated: starting → active → mature

04 Build with your neighbours

Find or start a community node.

Gabriola Island, Nanaimo, the West End. Nodes are small geographies — neighbourhood-sized, not city-sized — where the people in them coordinate. See who's nearby, what's active, where the gaps are.

Aggregate signals only. Names never leave the node. Privacy by structural design, not promise — community totals are visible, individuals never are.

  • Per-node governance — your node, your rules
  • Local activity feed: campaigns, alternatives, gaps
  • Aggregate signals only, no social graph, no follower count

05 The urgent alternative, first

One swap at a time —
backing local.

When you commit to a boycott, A.Billi surfaces the most important alternative purchase at the top of your shopping list. Not "replace this with that." The wording matters: "Next time you need laundry detergent…"

157 alternatives, curated. Cooperatives, employee-owned, locally-anchored. SPUD.ca, Choices Markets, Country Grocer, and a hundred and fifty more. Filterable, swappable, never naggy.

  • Invitation, not replacement — language tested in the app
  • Pulled to the top of your list when most urgent
  • Verified ownership structure — co-op, employee-owned, family-run

The protocol grows

The same logic,
applied wider.

A protocol is only as strong as the surfaces it reaches. Each of these extends the receipt-to-jurisdiction chain into new territory — without breaking the principles. No social graph. No platform voice. No auto-enacted votes.

The long arc · where this leads
We can build parallel systems that last generations beyond us. The point isn't to win this quarter. The point is to put something in the ground.
Built

Track money.
Refuse with reason.

391 ownership links grounded in SEC, SEDAR, and Competition Bureau filings. Polis-style consensus on every campaign — not petitions, structured deliberation. A shopping list that knows who profits from every line item. This is live. This is the foundation.

Built

Campaigns that
resolve.

Not just boycotts — demands. Every campaign carries three panels: why we're here, what would end this, and how we participate. Resolution criteria are explicit. When demands are met, the campaign closes. Deliberation that finishes what it starts.

Built

Neighbourhood projects.
Five kinds of capital.

Every proposal is a real project with a lead. Neighbours chip in money, volunteer time, lend things, and open doors — "I know a guy" runs on a double opt-in and a private, project-scoped line that fades when the project ships. Money collects on the lead's verified FundRazr campaign. Abilli never holds the funds, the names, or the conversation.

Next

Link your bank.
Track purchases automatically.

Connect your bank account through Plaid and every purchase gets mapped to its corporate owner — automatically. No more manual entry. No more guessing. Your spending data stays on your device and in your Supabase vault. We never see your credentials. You see everything.

Next

Demands delivered.
Revenue on the line.

When enough people boycott a corporation, A.Billi delivers the consensus directly to it: the collective demands, the households behind them, and the revenue walking away until those demands are met. Not a hashtag they can wait out — a ledger they can watch. The pressure compounds until the campaign resolves.

Next

A beneficial ownership
commons.

Every chain traced. Greenwashing flagged against public record. Scope 3 climate disclosures ingested as governments mandate them. The map grows beyond any one app — a shared, citizen-maintained layer of corporate transparency that anyone can build on.

Next

Mutual aid.
The Offer primitive.

The inverse of a wish. Instead of asking what's missing, say what you have to give. A neighbour's surplus becomes another's supply — tools, time, produce, skills. No marketplace. No transaction fee. Just a community that knows what it has and shares it. The Buy Nothing model, wired into the protocol.

Soon

Care infrastructure.
Not just transparency.

Social prescribing: health authorities refer people to community nodes for connection, not medication. The money moves loop: boycott, divest, vote your shares. The shopping list becomes the connective tissue of a neighbourhood that looks after its own.

Soon

Per-node governance.
Per-community protocols.

One size doesn't fit all. Every community runs the rules that fit it — its own thresholds, its own cadence, its own priorities — while still trading and learning across the network. The protocol adapts to the place.

Horizon

The platform that connects
invisible parallel systems.

Tool libraries, mutual aid, repair cafés, co-ops, seed swaps — the parallel economy already exists everywhere, invisible to itself. We are a platform on purpose: the connective tissue between them. Posts attach to places, not profiles. No follower counts, no algorithm, no engagement metrics — a social layer built after the financial flywheel exists, so it never needs to monetize attention. Real-life clarity, real-life action — one step at a time.

Horizon

A way to know
we're not alone.

Offline-first. Mesh-resilient. When a node fills a gap, lands a campaign, hits a threshold — the protocol tells the other nodes walking the same path. Not a post. Not a notification from a server you don't control. Just a signal: nine other towns just did this. A network that survives without the internet, and communion without the algorithm.

Receipts, not rhetoric.

Every claim A.Billi surfaces traces back to a public record. Numbers reflect the production data layer as of May 2026.

Note from the founder · Gabriola Island

The world could be so much better. Most of our problems are systemic, which means most of our solutions have to be too. Individual guilt won't get us there. A better hashtag won't get us there. A parallel system, built carefully, can.

A.Billi is the first move. Track your purchasing power. See who profits. Refuse with reason. Build with your neighbours. That's what's in the app today, and it's why people use it.

What comes next is harder. Per-node governance. Three-panel campaigns that resolve. Media ownership mapped the same way as groceries. Local businesses on the same map. And eventually — the part I think about most — intercommunity trade of skills and labour, between communities that have learned to coordinate without a corporation in the middle.

None of this is theoretical. The four surfaces above are designed. Some are written. One is shipping this quarter. The principles doc that landed last week is the spine: no social graph, no platform voice, no auto-enacted votes. If a feature fails those tests, it doesn't ship — regardless of how clever it is.

If you have a better idea, the protocol is built to receive it. Present it to your community.
