* [Contributions and locations of work](https://meet-coop-1.gitbook.io/handbook-trial/2-political-economy/members-and-contributions/contribution-accounting/contributions-and-locations-of-work)
* [Means](https://meet-coop-1.gitbook.io/handbook-trial/2-political-economy/members-and-contributions/contribution-accounting/work-of-valuing-and-means-of-recording-and-valuing-mapping-contributions) of recording contributions and rendering valuations
