Academy Membership
Annual access to the full Unranked Academy — every course, live workshops with researchers, monthly dark-pattern briefings, and a community of people learning to see the wires.
How It Works
The application runs on the user's device, applying directorate-developed models to detect and interrupt manipulative patterns in real time. All processing occurs locally — no personal data leaves the device. Anonymised aggregate telemetry (opt-in only) feeds back into the directorate's technique detection pipeline, improving the models for every user.
Who It's For
Individual users who want to reclaim control over their attention and digital habits. No technical expertise is required — the tools are designed for mainstream adoption.
Key Features
- Structured learning paths mapped to the Technique Index
- Tiered access with role-based permissions
- Peer-reviewed research methodology documentation
- Privacy-first architecture — no personally identifiable data collected
Ethics & Provenance
A year of structured learning from the people who catalog manipulation for a living. Members get the full course library, live workshops, and early access to new Decode entries before they hit the public database.
Where the Money Goes
Memberships underwrite the free educator tier and the public engagement programme.
