rzen 38ff520ae9 The distribution strategy takes a charter — six workstreams around one inversion
strategy/: the release-and-distribution effort, sibling to research/ but
different in kind — research gathers evidence, strategy turns it into
positions and plans. The charter records the goal (bootstrapped
sustainability with base→Pro growth in the personal garden first, Teams a
deliberate second act), the two tier anchors, what is already ruled, the
decision surface decomposed into workstreams, and the tensions to resolve.
The positioning line is the inversion: the garden's walls are around the
experience, not the data — closed polished surface, open documented
substrate, the exact inverse of the mainstream pattern and the moat
captive-state competitors cannot cheaply adopt.

Release & Distribution Strategy

Long-term strategy work for Lanework's release, distribution, and business model: licensing, monetization, openness, marketing, and goals. Sibling to research/ (the competitive-landscape corpus, which this directory draws on) but different in kind — research/ gathers evidence about the market; strategy/ turns evidence into positions, decisions, and plans for Lanework specifically.

Documents

  • 00-charter.md — the framing document: strategic goal, the two tier anchors, what is already ruled, the decision surface, the tensions to resolve, and the research agenda (start here)

Workstream documents are added as they happen, numbered in sequence.

Conventions

  • Same conventions as research/: each document opens with a scope note and a dated line; prose is unwrapped — one line per paragraph or list item.
  • A position is a working stance open to revision; a ruling is a decision recorded in DESIGN/ or RELEASE.md and stands unless explicitly re-ruled. Strategy documents may propose re-rulings but never silently contradict one.
