rhodi.ai is the outward-facing home of the Rhodia1 peer sourcing practice. The briefing materials, the charter, the agreement, the methodology — published here in process, not after.
This is the workshop. Not a product page. Not a portfolio. Closer to a published broadsheet from a small design collective — something that announces a practice through its own form, before it announces it through words.
Rhodia1 is a peer sourcing practice. It works with a small number of colleagues — designers, writers, technologists, practitioners — who arrive with enough of a formed sensibility to recognise what this is without being told. The work is conversational. The site is too.
What you find here is the briefing material, the charter, the draft peer sourcing agreement, and the methodology. Living documents, clearly marked as such. The Rhodia1 frameworks and code will be open-sourced from this address as they are ready.
A note on the name. The domain is rhodi.ai — not rhodia.ai. The compression is deliberate. Autocorrect systems will insist on restoring the missing 'a'. Resist them. That resistance is itself a small demonstration of what the practice is about: the homogenising instinct of systems that smooth away the particular is precisely what this work pushes against.
Send a short note. A paragraph or two — what you do, what brought you here, what you would want to bring to the table. No form fields. No funnel. A reply will come back from a person.
Drew Smith arrived at the charter and replied yes, yes, yes all the way down. That was the right beginning. Yours will sound like itself.
