Reality
The sequence.
Four phases, in order. Each one starts when the one before has made it true. No dates until they are real.
| # | Phase | Trigger for the next phase | State |
|---|---|---|---|
| 01 | The thinking.The research programme, the fields, the papers, the network around the podcast. | a body of published work and a community that reads it. | In progress |
| 02 | The first backing.A small number of teams backed one at a time, before there is a room. | teams that have gone on to raise from others. | Not started |
| 03 | The Room and Whitmont 01.A floor in London. The first cohort, small enough that everyone knows everyone's name. | the room is paid for and the programme has a lead. | Not started |
| 04 | The Fellowship at scale.Two intakes a year, then three. The Board. The Number published every year. | Not started |
The order is the promise. The dates are not.
