Text-based Storyboard — The Quad

Kit 21 · The Quad · deliverable · designed and built by I Wayan Usada · fictional composite (Noorderlicht University, its factions and the pilot are invented)

Design premise

A pilot only lands if someone other than the project team ends up holding it. Revised after the build so it matches what ships: the 2D board and the 3D quad both read quad-data.js.

Two quantities, one vocabulary

Nothing is "spent". The earlier copy called willingness "what you spend" and the action map talked about "budget and legitimacy"; neither matched the model.

The taught sequence fits the quarters

SHOWCASE (learn who is willing) → CO-OWN with the most willing faction → FORMALIZE what is owned → HANDOVER to the faction that holds it. The earlier debrief taught five steps (showcase, co-own, formalize, fund, handover) in a four-quarter game. Reading the cues and co-owning in Q1 also works.

Endings

Embedded (handover landed, durable average ≥ 50) · Mandated, not owned (mandate in Q1) · Pilot theatre (two or more showcases, no landed handover) · Mixed landing. Durable ownership = ownership + a third of willingness, per faction.

Debrief

Per-faction readout, three checks (first co-owner was the most willing; ownership existed before formalizing or mandating; the handover landed), the played sequence and the taught one.
