Why this comic essay? Why now?
Today, diversity is often framed as a problem, not a solution.
But data and research say otherwise.
In this comic, we present Proof of Work: literal proof (empirical evidence) of tools that make labor markets work better and fairer. To level the playing field.
And to build on every talent.
We need all backgrounds, all skills, all perspectives — and yes, this includes you. But here’s the thing: diverse teams are not always easy to form or lead. We all carry stereotypes, fears, and blind spots.
The selection of tools we present has been tested, reviewed, and published in academic journals such as AER, QJE, and Econometrica (yes, that’s a real journal).
You are welcome to download, read, and share our comic essay Proof of Work for your private use (CC BY-NC-ND license). For professional use, please contact us.
This comic is also a love letter to research — and a counter-narrative to those voices that spread myths about merit, diversity, and fairness. Take it on a train. Use it in a workshop. Slide it across the desk to your CEO. (Or maybe you are the CEO.)
