# ———————————————————- # CORE COMMUNITIES — THE MISSION ICP # ———————————————————-

# ———————————————————- # ICP — THE READER OF THE PORTFOLIO # ———————————————————-
icp: definition: > Organizations and communities that need sovereign AI infrastructure and will read the portfolio before they speak to you — because they have a vested interest in not trusting.
qualifiers:
- "Has a documented or lived history of exploitation"
- "Values evidence over pitch — will read the portfolio"
- "Data sovereignty is a real concern, not a talking point"
- "Overlooked by the big four AI labs"
- "Wants documentation and provenance, not black boxes"
- "Lineage, genealogy, or historical record is central to their mission"
disqualifiers:
- "Wants AI tools delivered, not sovereignty"
- "Wants sales pitch, not evidence"
- "Government agencies — excluded by business model principle"
- "Unwilling to grant testimonial or reference on success"
- "Not willing to read the portfolio"
# ———————————————————- # WHY THIS ICP IS DERIVED FROM PORTFOLIO, NOT BUSINESS MODEL # ———————————————————-
derivation_note: > This ICP is built from what the portfolio PROVES you can do. It is not built from who has paid. The portfolio is proof of work. The ICP is the reader of that proof. As the portfolio grows, the ICP sharpens — new case studies add new capability evidence, which may add new ICP segments or refine existing ones.
dynamic_maintenance: principle: “Portfolio updates drive ICP updates. Not the reverse.” triggers_to_revise: - “New case study added — does it expand capability evidence?” - “New white paper added — does it sharpen a competency?” - “New certification earned — does it open a segment?” - “First client engagement — does it validate or shift the ICP?” - “Portfolio restructure — does the framing change what it proves?” review_cadence: “Every time the portfolio materially changes”
# ———————————————————- # WHAT THIS ICP IS NOT # ———————————————————-
not_claimed: - “No clients are named — none exist on record” - “No ROI figures — none exist on record” - “No testimonials — none exist on record” - “Cynthia Evans meeting held Aug 28 2026 — no response received as of 09/25/2026” - “Law firms remain a Kott proposal, not yet owner-validated” - “Portfolio is dynamic — this ICP is versioned, not final”
# ———————————————————- # NEXT ACTIONS # ———————————————————-
next_actions: high: - “Follow up with Cynthia Evans — meeting was Aug 28, email sent Aug 29, no response as of 09/25” - “Confirm portfolio’s current case study and white paper counts” - “Decide first outreach segment — genealogy nonprofits or law firms” medium: - “Add ICP revision trigger to portfolio update workflow” - “Build lead-gen document — separate file” low: - “Review ICP against Kott’s ABA and EY links for legal-segment fit”
