Prerequisite Tree

Purpose

Order the conditions that must exist before the group responsibly scales or replicates the proposed operating system.

Entities

Obstacle	Intermediate objective
OBS-1 — Goal, UDEs, and arrows are not validated	IO-1 — Stewarded model accepted for provisional use
OBS-2 — Throughput may be contested or reductive	IO-2 — Mixed-method throughput protocol accepted
OBS-3 — People lack a next step and may resist funneling	IO-3 — Transparent consent-based entry pathway exists
OBS-4 — Intellectual agreement does not change practice	IO-4 — Recurring progressive practice exists
OBS-5 — Delegation risks quality or status hierarchy	IO-5 — Accountable graduated stewardship exists
OBS-6 — Values are hard to sustain without containers	IO-6 — Outward-facing pilot pocket/sangha operates
OBS-7 — Practices remain tacit or spread shallowly	IO-7 — Maturity-rated adaptable library exists

This chain is a priority spine, not a claim that later learning must wait entirely for earlier work. Small downstream probes may run when they do not pre-empt the governance and evidence questions.

Evidence

EVD-11–EVD-18. The supplied PRT explicitly starts its key chain with update governance and provisional validation.

Assumptions

A model that lacks standing cannot safely define group throughput.
A throughput definition is needed to evaluate entry experiments.
Real entry observations are needed before investing in full practice architecture.
Practice evidence is needed before formalizing stewardship and replication.

Confidence

High that IO-1 is the earliest prerequisite in the source; medium for the strict order of all later objectives.

Open reservations

Some work can be concurrent: safeguarding and facilitator standards may need to start before any practice pilot.
Funding or ownership could precede every modeled objective.
The group may already satisfy parts of the chain; no state evidence was supplied.

Each IO enables an injection or desired effect in the FRT. ACT-1–ACT-4 operationalize IO-1–IO-4.
