# Company Reactivation Plan

> Status: draft v0.1 — 2026-07-16. Turns the dormant legal shell (founded 2019)
> into an operating company. Phase model from `history/260715-InitialExploration.md`.

## Phase overview

| Phase | Name | Goal | Status |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 0 | Dormant legal shell | — | current |
| 1 | Reactivation | Administratively alive, clean, compliant, usable | **next** |
| 2 | Operating company | First offers sold and delivered | planned |
| 3 | Ecosystem provider | Provider of Coulomb / Net Kingdom / Railiance products | planned |
| 4 | Operational Knowledge GmbH | Rename when identity has caught up with mission | planned |
| 5 | OK-level ambition | Category-defining; ok.com becomes rational | north star |

## Phase 1 checklist — Reactivation

Each item needs: current-state evidence, required action, owner (Bernd /
accountant / bank / agent-preparable), and autonomy lane.

### Legal & registry
- [ ] Verify Handelsregister entry, registered address, Geschäftsführer details are current
- [ ] Locate articles of association and shareholder documents; file in evidence store
- [ ] Review company purpose (Unternehmensgegenstand) — is it compatible with the OK mission? (Red lane: change requires notary)

### Tax & accounting
- [ ] Establish accountant relationship (or confirm existing one) — Orange lane
- [ ] Confirm status of past filings (annual accounts, corporate tax, VAT) — identify any arrears
- [ ] Set up bookkeeping workflow (invoice inbox → ledger → evidence)

### Banking & finance
- [ ] Confirm business bank account state and access — Red lane for changes
- [ ] Inventory current costs, subscriptions, and obligations
- [ ] Establish cash/runway view (Finance Steward loop)

### Digital presence
- [ ] Domains: inventory owned domains, decide primary company domain
- [ ] Company email on own domain
- [ ] Minimal website: one page stating what the company does (transition wording below)

### Contracts & IP
- [ ] Inventory existing contracts and obligations
- [ ] Clarify IP ownership: which repos/assets belong to the GmbH vs. Bernd privately — needed before selling ecosystem products
- [ ] Contract templates (NDA, service agreement) — draft lane only

### Internal governance
- [ ] Company canon in this repo (this document set) — v0 done, founder ratification pending
- [ ] Decision records started (`DecisionQueue.md`)
- [ ] Autonomy policy in force (`AutonomyPolicy.md`)

## Transition wording (external, during Phases 1–3)

> Binky Hedgehog GmbH develops operational knowledge infrastructure for
> agentic, secure, and self-improving organizations.

## First internal deliverable

**Binky Operational Knowledge Audit v0** — run the company's own flagship
offer on itself: assess legal, tax, banking, domains, email, contracts,
products, repos, IP ownership, obligations, costs, revenue paths, assets,
missing capabilities, risks. Output feeds this checklist, the
`RiskRegister.md`, and becomes the reusable audit template (dogfood evidence).
