Ideas in progress, tied to real themes.

### Consent-first NGO discovery

Status: building. Theme: Civil society DPI.

A discovery layer where organizations control what is visible, and donors see progressive verification instead of scraped directories.

Why: Open Framework work keeps hitting the same wall: trust without surveillance.

Next: Prototype a single verification tier and audit log story.

### Lead → datasheet vertical slice

Status: building. Theme: Agrotech.

Turn product interest into a structured lead plus an auto-generated datasheet before building a full shop.

Why: AyushMushrooms buyers need specifics; carts can wait.

Next: Harden PDF generation and CRM webhook reliability.

### Peer acknowledgement loops in learning

Status: exploring. Theme: Education platforms.

Design learning products around recognition of progress between peers, not only streaks or course completion.

Why: Shiksha-Mitra's core insight is cultural, not curricular.

Next: Sketch two acknowledgement UX patterns and test with a small group.

### Honest rubrics for code-oriented LLM eval

Status: exploring. Theme: RLHF / evaluation.

Make evaluation criteria for code tasks explicit, correctness, edge cases, security smell, so feedback isn't vibes-only.

Why: Day job RLHF work depends on judgment quality more than model name-dropping.

Next: Write a one-page rubric for Python/JS tasks used in review.

### India-stack lessons for civil society tooling

Status: seed. Theme: India tech.

Study what made UPI/DigiLocker durable (incentives, standards, ops) and what does not transfer to NGO contexts.

Why: DPI metaphors are powerful and easy to misuse.

Next: Short reading notes comparing incentive structures.

### Browser extensions as product labs

Status: parked. Theme: Software craft.

Use small Manifest V3 tools to learn permission UX and DOM edge cases without a full SaaS shell.

Why: Overlay Text Box proved how much signal a tiny tool can give.

Next: List next extension ideas that solve a personal itch first.

### Studio positioning without delivery theater

Status: seed. Theme: Product / collective.

How a small interdisciplinary collective can describe services without '5x' or 'transformative' language.

Why: Expert-O taught how fast copy can outrun capacity.

Next: Rewrite service blurbs against actual shipped work.
