The public
ledger of
design crimes.

A permanent record of the dark patterns, manipulations, and exploitations designed by those who now seek to atone. Every entry was intentional. Every reparation funds the next generation of designers, researchers, product managers, business professionals, leaders, and entrepreneurs — at the School of Critical Design.

    Confess.

    Submit your story. From the small nudge you green‑lit to the career‑defining manipulation you led. Anonymous or attributed — your choice.

  2. 02

    Pay.

    Choose your reparation: $10 to $100,000. The amount is yours to weigh. We moderate, then publish to the public ledger.

    Fund.

    100% (less payment‑processor fees) is ring‑fenced for scholarships at the School of Critical Design, the education arm of Neeley Worldwide Ltd. The same group operates the ledger and runs the School — see About for the full disclosure.
