Learning and Working framework
Six artifacts Ladder Activation lifecycle
How the system behaves

The framework is the repeatable part.

The spec is not a business plan. It is the operating grammar that makes the venture repeatable across towns, centres, and participants.

1. Opportunity record

Every candidate site, workflow, or problem begins as a structured record with location, context, evidence, and a proposed first action.

2. Survey template

A consistent way to study a place or workflow so the result can be compared across locations instead of becoming a one-off story.

3. Learning rules

Reporting, connecting, and certification are coordinated so learning is carried out locally but can still travel as a reusable model.

4. Working rules

Production, cooperation, and financing support are only valid when they preserve real capability and do not blur the local role boundary.

5. Validation rules

What counts as evidence, who can confirm it, and what remains provisional.

6. Publication structure

How a field report, a registry update, or a public correction is written so it can be inspected later.

Activation lifecycle

A

Idle

Something exists, but it is not being used for the protocol.

B

Probed

The site or workflow has been inspected and documented.

C

Active

A real person is using it and the evidence trail is visible.

D

Stable

The activity is repeatable enough to support a claim.

E

Scaled

The model can be repeated without losing the nucleus or the local ownership boundary.
