Build the case, the numbers, and the braid — while capital is already moving.

You are not behind. You are under-translated.

A Sprint is not a planning exercise. You leave with the case, the numbers, and the braid — the mix of grant, corporate, public, and community capital your work can actually carry — and with the first asks already in motion.

Organizations whose practice is stronger than their documents show. The work is real. The translation is missing.

How the Sprint runs

• Weeks 1–2 — Read the organization as capital reads itWhat is already true, already evidenced, and already fundable — and where a reader would hesitate.
• Weeks 3–4 — Build the case and the numbers togetherOutcome logic and budget logic built in the same room, so the money and the claim agree.
• Weeks 5–6 — Design the braidWhich capital fits which part of the work: grant, corporate, public, earned, community. Named, sequenced, and reasoned.
• Weeks 7–8 — Move the first asksThe first approaches go out while a Capital Architect is still reading the work with you.

• A written capital case a funder can read without translation.
• One evidence record built once and reused across every ask.
• Budget logic that survives a finance reader, not only a program reader.
• A named braid: which capital source, for which part, in which order.
• A written note on any ask the evidence does not yet support.

• We do not promise an award. What an ask wins depends on the field, the funder, and factors outside anyone's control.
• Where the evidence does not carry a claim, we name the gap instead of filling it.
• You keep your language. Translation for the decision should not cost you your voice.

• You already have the opportunity in hand — Build My Capital™.
• You need to understand one specific room first — Know the Room™.
• The work is larger than an engagement — DSG Studio™.
