Updates

We use this log to record milestones, decisions, and outstanding needs. Add an entry whenever something notable happens so we can reconstruct the sprint story later.

2025-01-13 — Day 1 kickoff

• Defined the problem framing and agreed to build a “Wildcard Atlas” instead of a single flagship prototype.
• Captured 42 idea submissions from intake forms and whiteboard notes.
• Assigned Avery (lead), Jordan (data), Sky (comms), Morgan (partners), and Taylor (tech) as primary contacts.

2025-01-14 — Day 2 experimentation

• Jordan ran the first BERTopic clustering pass; early clusters showed strong signals around community sensing and narrative tooling.
• Sky mocked up atlas card layouts using outputs from code/single_hull_demo.py.
• Morgan coordinated with summit organizers to confirm sharing permissions for idea owners.

2025-01-15 — Day 3 share-out prep

• Finalized scoring rubric (novelty × feasibility × impact) and published preliminary rankings on the homepage.
• Embedded the lightning talk recap video and exported figures for the story walkthrough.
• Drafted the follow-up plan to keep the atlas alive post-summit.

Backlog / needs

• [ ] Automate daily exports from the intake form to avoid manual CSV downloads.
• [ ] Schedule usability testing with three summit mentors to validate atlas navigation.
• [ ] Add anonymized case studies to the documentation folder for future cohorts.
