Cosmic Wire · Commercial research

Research timetable

This chart shows who does what, and by when, for the commercial research on whether Cosmic can sell a private or hybrid on-site intelligence arrangement to enterprises. Som owns the public research. Keli decides what goes outside Cosmic and routes product questions to Jared or Jonathan. Mark uses only the approved speaking points.

Work finishes in the third week of November (wrap Thursday 19 November; close Friday 21 November). We check in every Tuesday and Thursday. Related pages: four markets plan · viability note.

How information moves. Som gathers facts from public sources and labels each claim so guesses are never treated as facts. Every Tuesday and Thursday Som sends a short update. Questions that only Cosmic can answer go to Keli, who routes them. When answers return, Som puts them into the briefs the same day. Som does not invent product claims. One market is studied in depth at a time; data centres come first.
