Hello #Mastodon and social.coop! Time for a proper introduction.

I'm Shaun, a specialist translator and financial analyst for the social and solidarity economy. My background combines a decade as a corporate finance analyst (ex-Moody's) with a deep commitment to radical social theory.

My practice, Root & Branch, is dedicated to helping cooperatives, democratic economic networks, and ethical funders navigate high-stakes legal, financial, and governance frameworks.

Standard finance treats cooperative returns as 'costs.' It’s a data error.

My consolidated Sovereignty Audit reclassifies 'Mutual Surplus' as Tier 1 Capital for Solvency II and identifies 'Trojan Horse' clauses in Private Equity deals. Words – and definitions – are the only thing standing between your mission and demutualisation.

I'm building a 'Sovereignty Dashboard' to audit the SSE: ⚖️ Extraction Ratio 🗳️ Governance Density

“Independent companies… are following a model pioneered… by an Oregon produce distributor (Sundance Natural Foods)… U.S. business owners choosing to sell or gift their company to a trust, instead of selling to a person or another company, so they can protect its values... The model is called a “perpetual purpose trust”.”
