What it is
The Aloha Compass (also Alignment Compass) is the governance frame that keeps Hussh and the Aloha fund strategy pointed at the same true north. Five fields, in order:
- Mission - the highest-level commitment: enrich lives through user agency, and compound aligned capital responsibly at low cost.
- Values - simplicity, humility, and cost-efficiency as permanent operating values.
- Operating rules - the constitutional constraints that prevent clever short-term decisions from breaking long-term trust.
- Decision test - the question every meaningful decision passes through: does this serve the mission, honor the values, and stay inside the operating rules? If not, the decision is wrong regardless of how clever or profitable it appears.
- Outcome stack - the chain of intended outcomes, ordered from trust and agency through loyalty, platform leverage, capital preservation, and long-duration compounding.
Why this matters
When two structurally different vehicles - a venture-backed product company and a permanent-capital fund - share an operating brain, they need a common compass to avoid drift. Both reference the same values; both face the same risk: that a clever short-term decision pulls the operation off the long arc.
How it gets used
- Strategic decisions get explicitly mapped onto the five fields before commitment.
- Conflicts between Hussh and Fund A interests get resolved by reading both compass copies side by side and choosing the move that best preserves both outcome stacks.
- The compass is a reading artifact, not a generative one — it doesn't tell you what to do; it tells you whether what you're about to do passes the decision test.
What it is not
- Not a strategic-planning template. Strategy lives elsewhere; the compass governs strategy.
- Not a values poster on a wall. The decision test is the whole point.
- Not separately tracked for each entity (Hussh, Fund A, HushhTech). One compass; two outcome stacks; one decision test.
