What would it mean here?
The starting idea includes KYC alongside 24/7 overlap and shared spaces. How that would work remains part of the system in development.
Identity checks, access to rooms, participation in an activity and personal-data sharing raise different questions. This exploration has not settled them into a membership or permission system.
What would people need from the experience? What information would be relevant, and how could people understand and control its use?
Open design questions
People, purpose and information
Who might use the space? What would KYC need to establish for a particular purpose? What happens if someone needs assistance or a record is wrong?
This public website does not verify identity, collect identity documents or issue building credentials.

Which questions come into view?
A first visit
What would help someone understand the place? What, if any, identity information would be relevant to that visit, and why?
These prompts open a discussion. They do not assign access rights or define a verification process.
Questions worth carrying forward
Leave room for people to shape the experience.
| Topic | Questions to explore |
|---|---|
| Identity and purpose | What needs to be known, for which activity, and by whom? |
| Information and choice | What is recorded, where is it held and how can someone review or correct it? |
| Different kinds of participation | Would an introductory visit, repeated use and organising an activity involve different arrangements? |
| Support and accessibility | What could help someone who needs assistance, has no usual identification or encounters an error? |
| Rooms and activities | How might privacy, equipment or a particular activity affect the use of a space? |
Continue the exploration
What would a useful experience feel like?
A walk-through of a possible visit could help reveal unanswered questions: arriving, finding a space, joining an activity, getting assistance and leaving.
The people involved could shape and revise these ideas as the wider system develops.
