A structured project brief
State the problem, current stage, accountable team, operating context, known constraints, and the decision you are trying to reach.
PARTICIPANT 01 / 24 · Project founders
Move your project from an introduction to a reviewable path for matching and execution.
This path helps accountable project teams turn their current state, evidence, and collaboration objective into a structured participation brief, identify relevant WCN roles, and prepare one bounded candidate next step. Every transition remains independently reviewed.
FIRST REVIEWABLE RESULT
Your first result is not a membership badge.
The first objective is a reviewable project participation brief—not admission, a partner commitment, funding, or acceptance.
A candidate collaboration map
Identify which capital, service, region, track, or media roles may be relevant—without treating a candidate match as a commitment.
One bounded next-step proposal
Prepare a candidate action with a goal, scope, owner, review criteria, evidence requirements, and a clear stop condition.
WHO THIS PATH FITS
Know whether this is the right path before you apply.
Good participation begins with an accountable actor, a concrete objective, and reviewable source material.
This path may fit
- You have an accountable founder, core team, or authorized project lead.
- You can explain the project’s current stage, dependencies, and known unknowns.
- You can provide source material for material claims and identify what is still unverified.
- You are seeking a scoped collaboration outcome rather than generic exposure.
This path is not designed for
- You need WCN to guarantee fundraising, customers, listing, or project success.
- You expect an application or introduction to create endorsement or partner status.
- You cannot disclose the responsible entity, ownership boundary, or material dependencies for review.
- You expect AI to approve claims, commitments, signatures, payments, or publication.

HOW PARTICIPATION STARTS
One clear path. Five separately reviewed transitions.
Each transition may stop, return for more information, or proceed to another human decision.
- 01Submit a participation briefDescribe the team, project state, collaboration objective, and evidence boundary.
- 02Identity and scope reviewA human reviewer checks the responsible actor, declared scope, and review level.
- 03Clarify material gapsMissing facts, sources, conflicts, dependencies, or authority questions return for clarification.
- 04Prepare a candidate pathRelevant roles and one bounded next step may be proposed for separate review.
- 05Independent human decisionAdmission, matching, collaboration, acceptance, and any external effect remain separate decisions.
WHAT TO PREPARE
Bring enough context for a useful review.
Do not submit private credentials, raw secrets, or information you are not authorized to share.
Team and responsibility
Responsible person, legal or operating entity where applicable, team roles, contact path, and decision authority.
Project facts and sources
Current stage, product or protocol materials, operating history, key metrics with provenance, dependencies, and known risks.
Collaboration objective and limits
The requested outcome, relevant participants, timing constraints, available resources, excluded actions, and success criteria.
AI + HUMAN CONTROL
AI may prepare. People retain decision authority.
Project Intake Copilot
AI may structure submitted material, flag gaps, prepare checklists, and draft candidate briefs. It cannot verify its own output, approve admission, select or bind partners, publish claims, sign, or move funds.
Mandatory Human Gate
Fundraising, signatures, external commitments, and any movement of funds.
PUBLIC BOUNDARY
Participation is reviewed, not automatic.
An application, match, or review does not constitute admission, endorsement, funding, or acceptance.
- Eligible to apply for review.
- Fundraising, signatures, external commitments, and any movement of funds.
- These tags name evidence categories for future reviewed work. They do not create public Proof, acceptance, settlement, certification, or endorsement.
