Resident question

Are we ready to choose?

Answer so far

No permanent path is decision-ready. The bounded bridge can be discussed as partly ready, but facility, legal, property, finance, execution, and civic blockers remain visible.

The relationship to hold onto

Readiness is a set of gates—not an average score.

42 canonical recordsSix paths × seven readiness dimensions.
Any blocking unknownKeeps that path exploratory.
Authorized resolutionUpdates only the gate the new evidence actually closes.

Why this matters

A strong number does not erase a different kind of blocker

Affordability cannot establish authority. A legal document cannot establish current condition. An MSBA stage cannot create a grant.

  • School/service
  • Facility/lifecycle
  • Legal/authority
  • Property/control
  • Finance/funding
  • Executability
  • Civic/public

Current boundary

Ready for continued evidence work—not for path selection

The model distinguishes a safe next research step from a binding public decision.

42 stable readiness records carry status, blocker flag, evidence, source, next action, responsible role, and decision link.

Readiness is not a preference or weighted ranking.
