Danke / U — The Human Impact Protocol

Why it matters

The world knows how to count clicks, views, and attention retention. But these metrics are not about impact. Important actions remain invisible: help, inspiration, support — they simply get lost.

Danke / U is a platform that makes human impact measurable. We track acts of gratitude and turn them into social capital.

What “impact” means to us

• Helping with complex projects;
• Emotional support;
• Inspiration and ideas;
• Contribution to the community;
• Invisible but meaningful work.

And we don’t just record the action — we record the fact that it helped, through gratitude from those it mattered to.

What changes if Danke / U becomes reality

• People earn reputation through actions, not popularity.
• Teams can see who supports and inspires.
• Companies get a new metric — real culture of participation.
• AI takes empathy and trust into account, not just activity.

What it could look like in practice

• Recruiting based on contributions to projects, not just resumes;
• Team reports reflecting real mutual help;
• A community where reputation is based on kind actions;
• AI platforms recommending based on human impact.

Why now

AI is already making decisions. Platforms manage visibility. If we don’t introduce a new trust signal now — those who help won’t win, the loudest will.

Danke / U is a chance to lay the foundation for new social capital.

This is not about control

We don’t track behavior. Only voluntary acts of recognition. No ratings. No judging people.

At the start

We are working on a demo version: tracking gratitude in chats, on the website, at events. Visualizing the “impact trail.” Preparing the API.

Who I’m looking for

I need a technical co-founder (CTO), community partners, and people who care about honest reputation.
