Defer outreach until there is work to show

Context

How the project talks to the world. The model sets out the channels and audiences (see engagement).

Decision (deferred)

The channels stand — the public site, a field journal, direct relationships. A specific engagement plan waits: we are pre-land with no audience and nothing yet worth broadcasting.

Why

Outreach before there is real work risks noise over substance; the honest move is to build first and let the work supply the content.

Constraints

Two people, no spare time for a campaign.

Revisit when

There is restoration on the ground worth sharing, or funding needs a public face.
