Everything a founding donor needs to say yes with clear eyes — the plan, the numbers, the infrastructure, the law, the team, the road, and the movement. One base case throughout: the scaled Path 2 (Bridge) — $7.2M over 24 months, one deep island pilot growing to 2,000 members, then four communities launched in parallel across three countries, one of them co-designed with an indigenous community.
The vision, the four layers, the $7.2M ask, the indigenous partnership, what donors receive, and the risk register — in one sitting.
Rooted ($4.5M) · Bridge (scaled to $7.2M, recommended) · Living ($11M). Line-item budgets; every line names its benchmark. Carries the July 18 addendum.
Quarterly burn against three tranches ($2.0 / 2.3 / 2.9M), the two thin moments, unit economics of the deep pilot and the parallel launch, sensitivity, and the path off donor capital.
Why active inference breaks the compute ceiling: a firewalled research simulation network in Labs, a distributed mesh of local agents in the world, and data sovereignty built into the Spatial Web protocol itself.
Who does what: 12 FTE in Year 1 deepening one community, 24 FTE in Year 2 launching four in parallel. Toggle the years, tap a function, see the roles, bands, and cost.
Trust + spin-off architecture, the multi-country jurisdiction map, why closed-loop mutual credit keeps Unity below the line in Year 1, and the indigenous data-sovereignty position.
Five eras, trigger cascades (“when this lands, this unlocks”), the spread from one island to bioregions across three countries — and the many currents of value the NI learns to see.
The Lineage as outreach spine, the twelve-invitation fractal, the seven-stage activation playbook (now including co-design), steward economics, and the extracted budget.
Start with the Executive Brief. The Business Plan holds the pathway decision; its nine review flags were resolved in the July 18 working session and each page carries the outcome. Financials, Infrastructure, Team, Legal, and Marketing each deepen one dimension of the plan without changing its numbers. The Roadmap is the living view — open it last and watch the pattern spread.
Path 2 leads at $7.2M · tranches $2.0 / 2.3 / 2.9M · CD 1 on an island bioregion (Hawaiʻi or British Columbia, both held open) · CDs 2–4 launched by simultaneous regional teams in three countries · an indigenous co-design community with its own budget line in Year 2 · era names kept · infrastructure page added · two spin-offs only · data sovereignty structural, not a service. Remaining gold tags mark items that still need counsel or a direct conversation.
