The way this question is framed suggests you might be hitting the same wall most people hit with republic.
Before jumping to solutions, it helps to understand where things typically go wrong.
**Most likely culprit:** a misunderstanding of the core requirement. This accounts for roughly 40% of cases I have seen.
**Second possibility:** The approach you are using worked in a different context and you are trying to apply it where it does not fit. democracy has specific conditions where it works well and conditions where it falls apart.
**Less common but worth checking:** a dependency or version mismatch that silently causes problems.
To narrow it down: eliminate variables one at a time rather than changing multiple things. That will tell you which of these you are dealing with.

Honest take, because I wish someone had told me this earlier.
Everything you will read about republic will make it sound more complicated than it is. Here is what 5 years of working with democracy has actually taught me.
Everyone who's good at this now was terrible at it for longer than they'd admit.
What actually moved the needle for me: I stopped trying to understand everything before starting, and just committed to one focused hour a day for a month. After that, things started moving much faster.
The one thing I would prioritise: get clear on what "good enough" looks like for your situation — perfectionism is the enemy here.
The learning curve is real but it is not as steep as it looks from the outside.
