# Phase 2 — Planning

`Oct 2026`

{% hint style="info" %}
**Objective:** Convert demand signals into a locked city set, per-hub Foundry briefs, and a committed capital plan.
{% endhint %}

## Workstreams

* **2.1 City selection** — apply the rubric to Phase-1 data: cohort depth, capital pledged, builder density, facility availability/cost, deconstruction-source + development-site density, regulatory friendliness, UA grant fit. Confirm the lead between Detroit/Chicago; name the cohort cities. *Final set is demand-gated.*
* **2.2 Foundry facility brief (per city)** — spec the owned-hub facility: footprint for all 7 zones (outdoor yard + warehouse depot + indoor workshop + industrial forge + ops station + 100+ hall + offices), plus live/work units where the property allows. Equipment list per zone. Reclaimed-material strategy.
* **2.3 Budget & capital stack** — per-hub all-in budget; apply the locked mix (equity 30 / grant 30 / member 20 floor / debt 20). Structure outside capital as non-controlling/repayable. Portfolio roll-up. Build the **grant-bridge** assumption.
* **2.4 Org & legal** — property-holding entity per hub; UA-as-adapter where grants are involved; confirm cohort leadership; spin up each city's governance node.
* **2.5 Lead fast-track plan** — lock the 2-month floor + milestone gate against the named lead.

| Phase-1 scorecard, rosters, pledges | Locked city list · per-hub **Foundry Facility Brief** · **Capital Plan** (with grant bridge) · Site Criteria Spec · entity/legal plan |

## Exit gate · KPIs · risks

* **Exit gate:** **50% of a hub's capital committed** AND Foundry briefs approved by governance.
* **KPIs:** capital committed vs. needed (coverage ratio) · # cities greenlit · briefs approved · time-to-decision.
* **Risks:** capital shortfall → fewer hubs · overcommitting to parallelism · grant bridge undersized · misreading demand depth.
