The Vterra platform—the Valorys value creation system, the Voxyn advisory agent, the digital twin knowledge architecture, and all supporting documentation—is released as open-source infrastructure. You are welcome to build consulting practices, training programs, translation communities, and commercial services on top of it. No permission required. No license fees. No coordination with Vterra, Inc.
We follow the model that has made open-source infrastructure viable in every serious sector of the economy: open platform, commercial ecosystem. The organizations that build services around Vterra make it more useful for everyone.
If you work with organizations on strategy, operations, or transformation, you can build your practice on the Valorys framework. Use the GSO model, the twelve value amplifiers, and the Voxyn agent architecture as the intellectual foundation for your service offering. Charge for your work. Keep the revenue.
You can develop and deliver practitioner training based on Valorys—including certification programs, cohort-based learning, executive education, and sector-specific applications. You may charge participants and issue your own credentials. No endorsement required.
The Valorys framework is language-neutral. If you work in a practitioner community or institution operating in a language other than English, you are invited to translate the framework documentation for use in your context. Open a GitHub Discussion to coordinate.
You can build derivative tools, AI agents, sector-specific platforms, and integrations that extend the Vterra platform. The Voxyn agent architecture is documented and available. If you are building something that other practitioners would benefit from knowing about, write to us.
The Vterra platform is released under two open licenses, matched to the nature of each component.
Full license texts are available in the GitHub repository. If you have a specific question about what the licenses permit in your context, email Colin directly.
Platform and software: Apache License 2.0. You may use, modify, distribute, and build commercial products on the framework without restriction, provided you retain the license notice and attribution.
The book: Take Control By Giving Up Control: The Value-Centered Fast Track to Organizational Growth. Creative Commons Attribution-NoDerivatives 4.0. You may share and translate the book with attribution. You may not distribute modified versions of the text.
Attribution is the whole of what we ask. When you build on Vterra, retain the Vterra and Valorys marks in materials that reference the underlying framework, and indicate that your offering is built on the Vterra platform.
Do not use the Vterra, Valorys, Voxyn, or GSO marks in ways that imply you are or represent Vterra, Inc. That is the only restriction.
GitHub Discussions is the working forum for the Vterra ecosystem—where implementation questions get answered, translation efforts are coordinated, and practitioners connect. It is organized around three opening threads: practitioner introductions, translation coordination, and implementation questions.
You need a GitHub account. You do not need a commercial relationship with Vterra, Inc.
The Valorys framework is in English because that is where it was written—not because it belongs to English-speaking organizations. If you are part of a practitioner community, academic institution, or civil society organization working in another language, you are invited to translate the framework materials. Open a GitHub Discussion indicating the language and materials you are working on.
