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

  1. Read INTENT.md.
  2. Review SCOPE.md.
  3. Use PROTOTYPE_PIPELINE.md to classify ideas.
  4. Capture loose ideas in inbox/.
  5. Create prototype cards only for ideas that deserve structured exploration.
  6. 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.
