Blueprints for Regenerative Ownership, Slow Capital, and Grounded Enterprise Architecture
"For those building from the margins, in silence, with precision—this book is for you."

The Steward’s Codex is not a business book in the traditional sense. It is a blueprint—for founders, architects, and systems-builders designing enterprises meant to endure. Quietly. Ethically. Without becoming dependent on their makers.

This is the first book in the Designing for Disappearance series. It offers powerful mechanisms for regenerative ownership, slow capital, and decentralized governance—including structural models for land-linked LLPs and holding systems, governance protocols that persist beyond the founder, revenue-linked leases that align landowners and communities, soft-power delegation frameworks, and grounded field essays from real pilots—what fractured, what healed, and what endure.

The context in this codex, you will find, is often rural—and drawn from Indian geographies—but its principles apply wherever systems must root, adapt, and endure.

There are no names here. Only systems. Because names don’t outlast structures—systems do.

This is not a guide for those who want to be everywhere.
It is a power manual for those designing to disappear.

For readers of Braiding Sweetgrass, The Art of Gathering, Reinventing Organizations, and Small Is Beautiful—looking for what comes after insight: structure, strategy, and the invisible art of letting go well.
