Stage 1
Publish the programme frame and align the foundation website, content, and early partner conversations.
CCE Labs
Roadmap
A readiness-first path from programme frame to tested practice.
Stage 2
Shape pilot Labs with clear challenge frames, methods, participants, documentation, and governance.
Stage 3
Publish evidence, refine standards, and grow the network only where the work can stand up to scrutiny.
A staged programme
CCE Labs should grow through readiness, not urgency. The goal is to build enough shared frame, evidence, and governance that partners can understand what the programme is and how to participate responsibly.
Stage 1: Programme frame
The first stage is to make the programme legible:
- publish the full programme content inside the foundation site;
- clarify purpose, architecture, methods, experiments, hubs, governance, evidence, participation, and roadmap;
- use the content as a basis for partner conversations;
- avoid claiming mature operations before pilots exist.
Stage 2: Pilot design
The second stage is to shape concrete pilots:
- identify one or more collaboration challenges;
- define the Lab format and participant group;
- select initial methods and documentation standards;
- establish governance and consent;
- decide what evidence the pilot should produce.
Stage 3: Pilot execution
The third stage is to run and learn:
- host the Lab cycle;
- document decisions, observations, and outcomes;
- reflect with participants and partners;
- refine methods;
- identify what can be published or reused.
Stage 4: Publication and partnership
When enough evidence exists, the foundation can publish learning and seek appropriate partnerships or funding. This is where CCE Labs can become more visible without overclaiming.
Stage 5: Network maturation
Only after useful pilots and publications should the programme grow into a wider network of Labs, hubs, partners, and methods. Growth should follow evidence.
