The big play.

We don’t ask for the factory. We integrate to it.

Picture an exponential curve. Each step of the climb — the kit, components, software, bundles, project kits — is a rectangle beneath it. The area under the curve is $500,000: the capital for the Hacker House. Compound enough validated plays and the summit funds itself. That’s the engineering — design the process, climb the steps, integrate the area.

HOW TO READ IT

Five steps, each one taller than the last — the climb. They’re the rectangles, the discretized area under an exponential curve. The solid line is the climb we actually walk, step by step; the dashed curve is the compounding it rides. Sum the steps and the area is the Hacker House: $500,000 of capital, compounded rather than asked for. The small plays inside each step are how we draw it.

Op. Prism is one operation in the loop · this is its climb · the summit funds the Hacker House, the next operation.

No.01 // The Small Plays

Inside the steps

Zoom into a step and you find the moves. Op. Prism is live, so the first step — the Student Survival Kit — is where the plays are running right now.

STEP 01 · STUDENT SURVIVAL KIT

SSK — the live step

LIVE

3D-printed study tools, engineered by a student who needed them first. The moves on the ground — what we’re running, what’s next, what’s queued.

The validated pitch

VALIDATED

Pitched at La Tech’s Dawgs Downtown to students and parents. It worked — tension first, product second. Founder-market fit, proven in front of real customers.

Reach out to teachers

Get the kit in front of faculty — recommended-tools lists, class adoption, a foothold inside the curriculum where the audience already sits.

Freebie at the library

PLANNED

Seed units at the campus library — a free first taste that opens the funnel into paid kits and surfaces who the builders are.

The steps ahead

Each unlocks as the one before it earns the relationship, the data, and the capital. The plays inside get filed when the step goes live.

STEP 02

Components

Discounted circuitry, wholesale bundles, curated class kits. Plays filed as this step goes live.

STEP 03

Software

Tutor-style tools that teach how a system connects inputs to outputs. Plays filed as this step goes live.

STEP 04

Bundles

Curated, endorsed toolkits Op. Prism doesn’t manufacture. Plays filed as this step goes live.

STEP 05

Project Kit

Radio Shack-style kits: components, enclosures, a challenge. Plays filed as this step goes live.

No.02 // The Through-Line

'The area is the argument. You don’t pitch for $500K — you climb to it, one validated step at a time.'

Five steps, one integral, $500,000 of capital earned step by step. This is Rockefeller’s vertical integration drawn as calculus — and George’s co-op model pointed at the surplus, so the builders who create the area own a share of it. The summit isn’t asked for. It’s the area under the curve.
