FOUR WEEKS.
NOWHERE TO HIDE.
The build is the show. Every week ends with something the public can inspect—not a promise deck, not a teaser, not a price chart.

HOUSE RULE / 001
NO PRODUCT.
NO COIN.
Teams start with a brief, build in public, and demo what ships. A working product and real usage are required before a coin is considered.
Graduation is earned. A token is never guaranteed.
