WhyWhyNot: Discover and explore the weird and the useful building and reviewing prototypes.

WHYNOT-WP belongs to whynot-design (26 ids vs 6 here), ruled by Bernd. The two repos were cross-blocking in the hub: whynot-design could not claim whynot-wp-0001 because this repo held it, and this repo could not claim whynot-wp-0002 because whynot-design held that. WNCTL-WP is newly registered to this repository. Numbers carry over unchanged since nothing here used the new prefix. Both files declare repo: whynot-control, so this is the repo's own work, not inherited template residue.

whynot-control
Control repository for the whynot organization.
whynot is the prototype and market-signal space for discovering the weird and the useful. It exists to capture early ideas, test usefulness, collect feedback, run closed betas, and identify signals that may later justify productization through Helix, Coulomb, Sloppers, Plenitude, or Binky.
Initial Use
- Read
INTENT.md. - Review
SCOPE.md. - Use
PROTOTYPE_PIPELINE.mdto classify ideas. - Use
BETA_SIGNAL_INTAKE.mdfor the prototype -> beta -> signal -> decision flow. - Capture loose ideas in
inbox/. - Create prototype cards only for ideas that deserve structured exploration.
- Promote only validated candidates toward Helix, Coulomb, Sloppers, Plenitude, or Binky.
Core Principle
A prototype is a question made tangible.
A prototype does not become a product merely because it is interesting.
