Pipeline
Every idea, from conception to exit
70 ideas across nine phases. Each phase states what must be true to LEAVE it — that is the difference between a lifecycle and a status label. Nothing advances itself: the system reports whether a gate is met and a person decides, because automatic promotion on a passed metric is how a portfolio drifts into commitments nobody made.
| Phase | Ideas | What it means | What must be true to leave it | Examples |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Concept | 34 | An idea, not yet underwritten. | An underwriting has been produced: a verdict, a score and a falsifiable test. | Per-line code review coverage visu; Bid Feasibility Check for School T; Mandatory Safety Standard Lookup f; Fail2ban Config Generator for syst |
| Analysed | 22 | Underwritten, with the argument against it on the record. | You have read the upheld charges and decided the idea survives them. | Line-Level Code Review Coverage Au; Auto-Re-Enable Accessibility Servi; Automated Booking Bot for China's ; Automated CSS Sprite Generator & R |
| Validating | 4 | A pre-registered test is live and running. | The frozen test resolved PASS, or you are deliberately overriding a FAIL with a stated reason. | GA4 Symptom-to-Root-Cause Diagnost; Azure AD Connect Password Sync Fai; Journald-to-Fail2ban Filter and Ja; Pre-LOI Screening for SBA Business |
| Building | 4 | Committed. The thing is being built. | It can take money from somebody who is not you. | Publicly Scored Daily Volatility R; Extended-Stay RV Park for Travelin; Calibrated Base-Rate Data for Busi; On-Site Mobile Diesel Repair for W |
| Operating | 0 | Live and taking money. | Revenue is recurring rather than incidental, and it survives you not working on it for a month. | — |
| Scaling | 0 | Past proof. Growing deliberately. | Growth is systematic rather than founder-driven, and the numbers would survive a buyer's diligence. | — |
| Exiting | 0 | For sale, or in diligence. | A transaction closed, or you withdrew. | — |
| Exited | 0 | Sold. Terminal. | Terminal — nothing follows it. | — |
| Stopped | 6 | Killed, with the reason recorded. Terminal. | Terminal — nothing follows it. | NIH Grant Mechanism Eligibility Ch; Recall & Mandatory-Standard Lookup; fail2ban Journald Filter Configura; First-Login TOTP Setup Guide for C |
Phases were backfilled from EVIDENCE — a verdict means analysed, a live venture with a frozen test means validating, a graveyard row means stopped. Asserting that everything starts at concept would have been a lie about 39 decided candidates. Every transition since is append-only and carries the score, confidence and verdict as they stood, because a decision is judged against what was known at the time.
