Sponsor queue

Next dollar menu.

This is the public queue of bounded runs worth funding next. Each item names the artifact, the gate, the review line, and the cheapest useful move before a stronger model or human is needed.

Public-good build burst

Ship one small tool or page that makes a public-good workflow easier, with proof, screenshots, and a clear maintenance boundary.

  • Gate: thecreativitymachine_public
  • Human-review line: accounts, payments, platform purchases, or production probing.

Toyota switch

The queue buys work, not authority.

Every funded item remains bounded. Money movement, broad outbound, credential handling, platform purchases, production probing, and irreversible commitments pause for explicit review.
