0) Plan header + lanes map (use these IDs throughout)
Subject: ☐ Alithea (org plan) ☐ Me (engagement plan) ☐ Dual (recommended) Primary wedge (choose 1): L-A Ops Backbone MVP (recommended) L-B Archive + Permissions Sprint L-C Applied Partnerships Pilot (e.g., WSU/Shocker Studios) L-X Other wedge: __________________________ Lane legend (reference these IDs later)
Core Lanes (pick 1 as primary wedge; others can be secondary):

WSU collaboration, mocap training, digital arts curriculum pilots, partner pipeline Secondary Lanes (optional—explicitly check if “in scope”):
L-D Education Engine (Curriculum + Outcomes) Workshops, youth programs, school partnerships, measurable outcomes
L-E Embodied Wellness (Somatics-adjacent offerings)
Feldenkrais/Laban-informed movement literacy; careful positioning + outcomes L-F Creative Collaborations (Cross-disciplinary productions)

Grant calendar, submission pipeline, sponsorships, pricing, sales motion L-I Network Map (People/Alumni/Institutions graph)
Stakeholder map, introductions, alumni surveys, advisory board building Plan owner(s): __________________________ Point person (weekly decisions): __________________________ Decision cadence: ☐ Weekly 30 min ☐ Biweekly 60 min ☐ Other: ________ Constraints (time/budget/staff): __________________________ Definition of done for first wedge: __________________________ Rule: In each section below, label items with the lane ID(s), e.g., [L-A] or [L-B + L-G]. If something doesn’t apply, leave it blank.
1) North Star + boundaries (so it doesn’t sprawl)
North Star Outcome (1 sentence)
“In 12 months, Alithea has a lightweight operating backbone and a documented ‘movement grammar’ asset base that supports sustainable programs, grants, and partnerships—without increasing admin burden on artists.”
Explicit boundaries (anti-scope-creep)
Not building a huge platform in Year 1 Not chasing “Disney-tier” partnerships without proof assets Not digitizing everything—start with a curated seed set Not creating new bureaucracy—minimum viable operations 2) Workstreams (lane-aligned)
Use 3–5 workstreams max. Recommended by lane:
W1 [L-A] Ops + Systems: dashboard, workflows, handoffs, routines W2 [L-B] Archive + Permissions: intake, metadata, rights clarity, storage W3 [L-C + L-H] Pipeline: partners + grants tracking, outreach queue W4 [L-D / L-C] Offer Ladder: workshops → pilots → repeatables W5 [L-G] Narrative: positioning, materials, proof story, deck/one-pagers (If you want minimalism: W1 + W3 only.) 3) 30-day plan (Discovery + MVP wedge)
Objectives (pick 2–3, label lanes)
[L-A] Establish single source of truth for people/partners/grants/works/artifacts [L-A] Ship an Operating Dashboard + weekly rhythm + next actions [L-B] Define artifact intake + permissions tracking (start with 10 items) [L-G] Produce 1-page positioning narrative + talk track v1 [L-C] Identify one pilot partner + draft pilot outline Deliverables (lane-tagged)
D1 [L-A]: Minimal data model (tables + required fields) D2 [L-A]: Dashboard (5 widgets max) D3 [L-B]: Artifact intake form + permission status field + tagging rules D4 [L-A + L-H]: Grant/partner tracker + outreach queue D5 [L-G]: One-page narrative + “what we do / why now / what’s next” Success metrics
[L-A] % key contacts captured: ___ / ___ [L-H] # grants tracked w/ deadline + next action: ___ [L-B] # artifacts ingested w/ permissions status: ___ Weekly review held? ☐ yes ☐ no Risks + mitigations
[L-A] time scarcity → “2-hour/week mode” + strict scope [L-B] messy files → intake-first; don’t reorganize everything [All] unclear ownership → name point person + decision cadence 4) 60-day plan (Proof assets + first external pilot)
Objectives
☐ [L-A] Expand data coverage + reliability ☐ [L-B + L-G] Movement Grammar prototype (taxonomy + examples) ☐ [L-C] Launch 1 pilot (WSU workshop or similar) ☐ [L-H] Grant pipeline live (calendar + templates + checklist) Deliverables
D6 [L-B]: Movement Grammar v0.1 (10 exercises/works tagged w/ 8–12 attributes) D7 [L-C + L-G]: Pilot package (one-page offer + agenda + outcomes + capture plan) D8 [L-H]: Grant pipeline doc (list + deadlines + templates + checklist) D9 [L-I]: Partner map (20 nodes + who-introduces-who + next action) Success metrics
[L-C] Pilot scheduled? ☐ yes ☐ no [L-B] # movement grammar entries: ___ [L-H] # active grant submissions in motion: ___ [L-I] # warm intros requested/secured: ___ 5) 90-day plan (Productization + repeatability)
Objectives
☐ [L-D/L-C] Convert pilot into a repeatable offering (curriculum + pricing + deck) ☐ [L-B] Improve archive process (permissions clarity, capture standards) ☐ [L-A] Reduce operational friction (handoffs, tasks, comms templates) ☐ [L-G] Publish proof story for funders/partners (metrics + narrative) Deliverables
D10 [L-D + L-C]: Offer ladder v1 (workshops → residencies → mocap training → archive releases) D11 [L-B]: Content capture kit (release form, shot list, metadata template, storage rules) D12 [L-G + L-H]: Board/funder update memo (metrics + story + next asks) D13 [L-A]: Versioned roadmap update + cadence SOP Success metrics
[L-D/L-C] # repeatable offers packaged: ___ [L-B] # permissions-cleared assets: ___ [L-H] $ pipeline (earned + grants requested): $___ [L-A] scramble reduced (self-report): ___ 6) 365-day plan (Institutionalization + optional expansion)
Strategic outcomes (choose 2–4, lane-tagged)
☐ [L-B] Archive Seed Collection + stewardship plan + advisory circle ☐ [L-C] 1 recurring institutional partnership producing annual work ☐ [L-H] Stable funding calendar + submission rhythm ☐ [L-D] Repeatable education product adopted by 2–3 partners ☐ [L-G] Annual “State of the Work” report (story + metrics) ☐ [L-I] Mature network map + alumni engagement loop Big deliverables
D14 [L-B + L-G]: Archive initiative page + intake pipeline + advisory circle roster D15 [L-C]: Partnership playbook (pitch → run → document → repeat) D16 [L-H]: Funding engine playbook (grants + donors + sponsorship) D17 [L-A]: Operations handbook (cadence + roles + dashboard SOP) 7) Engagement modes (if “you” are a subject)
Mode A (Discovery Sprint) [L-A + L-G]: 2–4 weeks → wedge choice + roadmap + dashboard spec Mode B (Build Sprint) [Primary lane]: 4–8 weeks → MVP shipped + pilot packaged Mode C (Operator-in-Residence) [All]: 3–6 months → cadence + pipeline + productization 8) First working session input checklist (tag the lane each item feeds)
[L-A] current programs/offers list + calendar [L-I] contact lists (donors, alumni, partners) [L-B] where artifacts/files live + any permission realities [L-H] grant history + known funders [All] weekly point person + time constraints [L-G] what “success in 90 days” should feel like Nonprofit Credentials (EIN )
