+# Wellspring: Fitness for Purpose framework
+
+This mechanism is intended to prevent avoidable harms caused by negligence or outright lack of care by product/service providers. It's intended to
+solve such issues across a wide swath of domains including such domains as the architecting and construction of buildings; the design and manufacture of
+machinery and tools; and other contentious areas where false representation of fitness for purpose have hazardous consequences for direct customers and 3rd parties
+who may be entirely unaware that their lives and safety are at the mercy of a product/service whose fitness for purpose has been misrepresented.
+
+The mechanism gives standing to procure a vendable warrant, to any individual able to prove that the product/service is not being deployed/used in line with its
+represented purpose-fitness, and the guidelines thereof. In so doing it empowers knowledgeable individuals to act as the decentralized cogs/agents in a distributed
+safety and quality assurance mechanism.
+
+It also encourages a business climate where companies are strongly incentivized to be accurate/honest in their representations of fitness for purpose, and their
+representations of the conditions under which their product/service is fit for purpose. It further encourages a business climate where companies are vigilant
+to ensure that they maintain their facilities/tools/processes in the required state of repair to ensure fitness for purpose.
+
+Ultimately, we realized that we were trying to prevent 3 things:
+* The deployment by companies of a product/service which poses **unpublished** hazards to the customer when used for the purposes that the company
+  represented the product as being fit for, and in line with the usage guidelines published by the company for that purpose; and which hazards are **known** to the
+  company beforehand.
+* The **false** representation of a product/service as being fit for a purpose under when used in line with its usage guidelines;
