The Faultline
Where problems surface and solutions begin
Why This Exists
Every system has a faultline. It’s not just the land that moves; our communities, workplaces, and services shift under pressure too.
The Faultline exists to surface what’s stuck. Some problems waste time. Some waste money. Some just never get fixed. Whether it’s a clunky process, a missing link, or a good idea that never quite landed, The Faultline is where you name it—so we can deal with it.
No spin. No jargon. No blame. Just honest problems and collective action.
The Faultline exists to:
- Surface real, local problems
- Invite tech-enabled, collaborative responses
- Help students, funders, researchers, and startups work on things that matter

Why It Matters
Local problems deserve local insight. When people share what’s not working, it opens the door for innovation, investment, and practical change.
