Status: [LIVING DOCUMENT — single source of truth for all open items]

Principle: Every open question, missing document, undecided seat, and undefined process lives here. One register, one cadence, one custodian seat.

The temptation when writing a document like this is to fill the gaps with confidence — to round up where the answer is uncertain, to soften where a decision has not been made, to pretend the org chart is more populated than it is. We are doing the opposite. Every open item is named on this page, with a seat next to it. Some are small. Some are decisions worth seven figures. The point is that none of them get to hide. A campus this complicated does not fail because of the things on the dashboard — it fails because of the things nobody put on the dashboard.


22.1 How to read this register

Each row carries:

  • ID — stable identifier, never reused
  • Section — where in the master doc the item lives
  • Item — short description
  • StatusTBD CONFIRM FLAG PROPOSED [REQUESTED]
  • Owner seat — not name; seat
  • Trigger — what closes this item
  • Last touched — date

The register itself is consolidated here; the working copy lives in a tracked spreadsheet (see entry R-001).

22.3 Cadence

  • Register reviewed weekly at the L2 working session.
  • Register diff reported in the L3 monthly memo (§18) — items opened, items closed, items escalated.
  • Register rolled forward at every quarterly refresh (L4).

22.4 Custody

The §22 register custodian seat is the Operating Lead once filled; until then, the Officer seat holds custody directly.


The §22 register is, ultimately, what protects the platform. Names change, partners change, market conditions change — the register is the institutional memory.
