# PI-XXX - Title

## Status

IMAGINATION

Confidence: LOW_CONFIDENCE / state the basis.  
Owner: TBD.  
Authorization required: list permissions; do not imply they have been obtained.

Allowed statuses: IMAGINATION, HYPOTHESIS, DD, EXPERIMENT, PROTOTYPE, PILOT, REALITY, ARCHIVED.

## Created

YYYY-MM-DD

## Current State

Separate verified facts, user-provided context, assumptions and unknowns. Is the claimed absence of this proposed structure actually verified?

## Proposed State

What would exist that does not exist in the proposed form today? Define the smallest scope and what is explicitly outside it.

## Why It Is Plausible

State the mechanism, necessary conditions, testable hypotheses and potential disconfirming evidence. What would need to become true?

## Value Created

For whom, compared with what baseline, and at what cost? Unmeasured benefits: UNMEASURED.

## Constraints

Include technical, organizational, economic, institutional, regulatory, security, permission, incentive and opportunity-cost limits as applicable. Do not hide blockers.

## Evidence / Analogues

| Evidence ID | Type | Source and date | Claim supported or contradicted | Scope, confidence and limitations |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| E-001 | UNVERIFIED | TBD | TBD | No evidence collected yet |

An analogue supports a plausibility argument; it is not proof of permission or feasibility in the target institution. Include only permitted references or sanitized notes.

## Key Unknowns

Which answers could materially change or falsify this proposal?

## Who to Ask

People or roles and why they can help. Do not invent contacts, agreement or access. Avoid storing private contact details.

## Due Diligence Questions

Concrete questions that test the mechanism, baseline, constraints, economics and permissions.

## Smallest Experiment

Question / baseline / fixed scope / approvals / time and cost cap / artifact / measurement / pass criteria / stop or falsification criteria. If not run, state NOT_RUN and UNMEASURED.

## Path to Reality

State the gates, dependencies and possible alternatives, including revision or archive. A committed implementation handoff is not automatically REALITY.

## Next Action

Owner / specific action / permission required / observable completion evidence. If blocked, identify the smallest question or permission needed. Do not mark an unperformed action complete.

## Updates
