Cosmic Wire · Localized LLM research

Who does what, when

Research is Som’s job. This Gantt is almost entirely Som steps. Keli routes Cosmic questions and reviews what Mark can say. Mark and Jonathan are not on the research checklist — they only unblock product or beachhead decisions when asked. Notes: verticals plan · viability.

How work moves: Som researches from primary public sources · labels every claim · prepares Tuesday packs and Mark one-pagers · sends Cosmic-gated questions to Keli when needed · folds answers the same day they return. WIP: one deep vertical (data centers) until Mark-ready.
