The portfolio, in build order

“Complete” means the named ship-worthy milestone, not that the venture stops evolving. Tap a project for its current state, next moves, dependencies, and the mechanisms it exercises.

Planning model, not a promise. The dates assume one primary build plus one lighter track at a time. AI agents accelerate research, drafting, coding, and QA; founder decisions, integration, live testing, legal review, and partner approvals remain the critical path. Any major scope change moves the date.

The dashed “demands” relation is an analyst’s synthesis rather than a stated rationale. Project dates are scenario estimates based on the recorded scope and dependencies as of 5 October 2026. The three very-low-confidence forecasts are conditional on their stated provisional v1 boundaries.
