“Leave the plantation” is a decision. What has been missing is the ladder — the ordinary, difficult, measurable steps a household takes after it decides.
Each of these five is a working tool, not a brochure. They run in any browser, print on any printer, keep whatever is typed into them on the person's own device, and require no account and no signal. A family in a living room with one laptop and a printer can use every one of them. That is deliberate: the households this message is for are the ones least likely to have anything else.

These are built and working, and four decisions belong to people before any of it goes public. Nothing here is blocked on code.
