The Faultline

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

Who It's For

Submitters
Business owners, council teams, NGOs, educators, and anyone with a challenge
Solvers
Developers, engineers, students, researchers, innovators
Connectors
Funders, incubators, policy teams, economic developers

What You Can Do

  • Browse real-world problems by tag, theme, or sector
  • Submit a problem — or solve someone else’s
  • Filter to find problems aligned to your expertise

What This Is Not

  • A space for personal complaints or venting
  • A support ticketing or issue tracking system
  • A promise of funding or follow-up

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.

Progress starts with honesty and a willingness to act.
