-
-## Core Principles
-
-### 1. Free Exchange of Technology
+## Official Mission
 
-We enable **free, nonprofit exchange** of technology between individuals and groups. Technology includes:
+**evig makes access to intelligence affordable to everyone — good, durable hardware,
+the software and knowledge to use it, and the AI and (in time) robotics that
+increasingly decide who gets to take part. Curated, not junk refurb; a
+market-and-quality model run as a non-profit, where affordable pricing is the
+product, not a subsidy.**
 
-- **Hardware**: Old computers, computer parts, synthesizers, DJ controllers, peripherals, bicycles, furniture
-- **Software**: Old proprietary software given away for free, open-source software
-- **Resources**: Compute resources (servers), memory resources (storage), cloud infrastructure
+The single sentence behind everything: **intelligence should be reachable by anyone,
+anywhere — and kept reachable, for longer.**
 
-**Key Principle**: All technology redistribution happens on a **nonprofit, free basis**.
+---
 
-### 2. Open Source Advocacy
+## Origins — Revamp-IT
 
-**Goal**: Enable open-source hardware and software to compete fairly with proprietary solutions.
+evig is a 2026 spin-off from [**Revamp-IT**](https://www.revamp-it.ch), the Zürich
+circular-IT non-profit it grew out of. We name and honour that root — Revamp-IT's
+history is **Revamp-IT's**, never claimed as evig's own.
 
-**Philosophy**: 
-- Open source is the **ideal way for humans to collaborate**
-- As development becomes more decentralized (can be done without big teams), open source will **ultimately exceed the capacities of big, centralized corporations**
-- The most beautiful way for this to happen is through **technological collaboration and exchange beyond national boundaries**
+- **Revamp-IT** — *im Handelsregister eingetragener, selbsttragender gemeinnütziger
+  Verein*, Zürich. Since **2003**: refurbishing used hardware, installing Linux and
+  open-source software, running workshops, and making computing accessible to people
+  with limited means. Address: Birmensdorferstrasse 379, 8055 Zürich · https://revamp-it.ch
+- **The divergence** — evig wanted to carry the same circular-IT conviction fast and
+  far, as an independent organisation aimed at *access to intelligence* (AI, robotics,
+  open tech). Revamp-IT stays with repair and reuse at a calm, local pace. A different
+  goal and tempo — both legitimate. So evig set out on its own: full ownership, no
+  committee to convince, the same roots aimed at a bolder destination.
 
-**Vision**: Make technological collaboration and exchange easy and simple, transcending national boundaries.
+---
 
-### 3. Subscription Exchange & Transition Support
+## Core Principles
 
-**When Subscriptions Are Needed**:
-- Facilitate easy community funding of subscriptions
-- Enable individuals to support each other's technology needs
-- Provide transition path from proprietary to open-source
+### 1. Access to intelligence is the inequality worth closing
 
-**Open Source First**:
-- Maintain open-source alternatives until they reach sufficient maturity
-- Provide computers equipped with **fully open-source AI and blockchain solutions**
-- Rank technology upgrades by **environmental impact**
+Inequality of income and wealth are symptoms; the inequality that compounds hardest
+today is **unequal access to intelligence** — the compute, AI, and (soon) robots that
+multiply what a person can do and hand back their time. evig exists to put those tools
+within reach of people, not just institutions and the wealthy.
 
-### 4. Environmental Impact Awareness
+### 2. Circular economy is the affordability engine
 
-**CO2 Measurement**:
-- Measure all electricity use: toasters, TVs, computers, AI, robotics, food production
-- Enable individuals to understand their **true environmental impact**
-- Rank technology upgrades by environmental impact
+Good technology kept in circulation instead of turning to waste is what makes it
+affordable. A refurbished laptop is both the greener choice **and** the cheapest
+on-ramp to AI that exists. Reuse as energy, not obligation — *this still has a life in
+it; let's raise it for longer.*
 
-**Sustainability Focus**:
-- Promote environmentally conscious technology choices
-- Support circular economy through technology redistribution
-- Reduce e-waste through refurbishment and reuse
+### 3. Complete, working, honest — quality is a promise, not a lottery
 
-### 5. Education & Digital Inclusion
+evig sells complete, working machines (and, in time, robots) — never parts, never
+"good enough." When we say a machine is good for a real purpose, the software is
+installed and configured and it works the moment you open the lid. Fitness for a
+concrete purpose is the product; a spec sheet isn't.
 
-- Technical education on Linux, open-source software, hardware repair
-- Workshops on sustainable technology practices
-- Digital inclusion programs for underserved communities
-- Community building and knowledge sharing
+### 4. Hardware, software, and knowledge — handed over together
 
----
+Owning the box isn't the point; *doing the thing* is. evig brings three things closer
+to people: **hardware** (curated, capable, reachable), **software** (set up and honest
+about what it's for), and **knowledge** (workshops, repair café, a technician network,
+and research published in the open).
 
-## Nonprofit Status
+### 5. Research in the open
 
-Revamp-IT operates as a **Swiss nonprofit organization** with the following principles:
+evig investigates — affordable AI, running intelligence on humble and second-life
+hardware, open robotics, repair, sovereignty over your own tools — and publishes what
+it finds. R&D is the engine under the curation, and the honest basis for every promise
+evig makes. We never cite a finding we haven't actually published.
 
-- ✅ **No Profit Distribution**: All surplus funds reinvested into mission
-- ✅ **Public Benefit**: Activities serve public good
-- ✅ **Non-Commercial Primary Purpose**: Technology redistribution, not profit generation
-- ✅ **Transparency**: Financial records and activities are transparent
+### 6. Ways to raise your way to intelligence
 
-**See [Legal Compliance Documentation](LEGAL_NONPROFIT_COMPLIANCE.md) for full details.**
+Alongside buying outright, evig is building pooled and shared financing so access
+doesn't depend only on what's already in your wallet: subscription crowdfunding,
+shared-subscription pools, and direct support (donate a device, fund a tool, sponsor a
+workshop seat). The tagline lives here: **raise for longer.**

+## Legal & non-profit status
 
-## Vision Statement
+evig is a **gemeinnütziger Verein in Gründung** (non-profit association being founded),
+2026, Zürich. Until the Verein is registered **and** recognised as tax-exempt by the
+canton, evig does **not** issue tax-deductible donation receipts and does not claim
+recognised charitable status. It is stated plainly as "in Gründung", never hidden.
 
-**As development becomes more decentralized and can be done without big teams, open source will ultimately exceed the capacities of big, centralized corporations. The most beautiful way for this to happen is through technological collaboration and exchange beyond national boundaries, making it easy and simple for individuals and groups to share technology, knowledge, and resources.**
+The platform is open-source ([MIT](../LICENSE)) so other circular-economy
+organisations can adopt it directly.
