ROADMAP / EVIDENCE ARCHITECTURE
Proof before capex.
Six stages, in order. Each ends at a gate covering site, licensing, funding, security, or public process. Every gate can end in proceed, pivot, or stop.

FUTURE / SEPARATELY GATED / MUTED BRANCH
NOT AN ACTIVE PRODUCTION ROADMAP
Regulated pathway
Any regulated work is a separate decision path with its own gates: independent site screening, licensing and regulatory approvals, dedicated funding, security systems, qualified leadership, and a public municipal process. It does not inherit progress from the stages above, and no timeline is stated.
