Why We Wrote a Charter First

Culture cannot be retrofit. It has to be the substrate.

Before we toured a property, we wrote the charter. Before we priced a membership, we wrote the charter. Before we took the first founding conversation, we wrote the charter.

The charter is a short document with long consequences. It defines what this house is for, what it refuses, and what its members can expect from one another. Every later decision references it.
