Someday — Ashcroft Angels
What this file is for. Projects that are real but are not being worked, so
they leave projects/ without leaving the vault. The rule is anti-pattern 13:
more than about seven active projects under one venture cannot be reviewed
weekly, and the weekly review refuses an eighth until one moves here.
It moves on the weekly review, not on a session’s judgment mid-week. Moving something here is a decision that it is not being worked; that is Rowan’s to make and it belongs in the ritual that looks at the whole venture at once.
Active projects in this venture: 1 of about seven.
Parked
Nothing. Fourteen angel positions and two board seats, and only one of them is a workstream.
The other board seat, which is not a project and should not become one
Slipstream — [[Adaeze Nwosu]]. The best operator in the portfolio, on the Quiet list at Rowan’s own instruction and by his own reasoning:
“She asks me for nothing, which by your own rule means I should be worried about her, not relaxed.”
176 days since contact as of 2026-09-23, re-derived from
Atlas/people/Adaeze Nwosu.md — where the date is recorded as approximate, month
only, and the last day of that month is used so the gap is stated conservatively
and never overstated.
This is a relationship, not a project, and turning it into one would be the
exact inversion ADR-10 exists to prevent — the quiet get structural attention as
people, not as items with a status. It belongs in Quiet and in hobbs-002, and it
is named here only so that a reader of this venture sees both seats.
Not held
Tessellate and Slipstream board dates. Unknown, in an invite somewhere
(hobbs-e01). No account here is read (ADR-20).
