Concept ↔ System Map
The correspondence between the human-facing curriculum (this repo) and the machine-side encoding of the same doctrine (the DNA repo). One table per durable concept.
⚠️ THE CORE RULE
The concept column + the government facts NEVER change. The DNA/stack column changes — update THIS map when it does, never the doctrine files.
doctrine/01–doctrine/10 and case-study/ravonics.md are the source of truth and are immutable with respect to the tooling. When a rule is renamed, a formula version bumps, a playbook is added, or a service is replaced, the change is recorded here, in the DNA artifact column — never by rewriting a doctrine file. (See doctrine/08-tools-change-concepts-dont.md.)
DNA version pinning
All DNA artifact paths below refer to DreamLimited/dna at v0.18.2 (current, 2026-08-05):
| Version source | Value |
|---|
VERSION (repo root, authoritative bare string) | 0.18.2 |
dna-manifest.yaml → metadata.version | v0.18.2 |
Git tag on main | v0.18.2 |
DNA follows SemVer per VERSIONING.md: MINOR bump for a new rule/playbook/formula/prompt (existing consumers keep working); MAJOR for a rename/removal/behavioral change. When DNA bumps, the paths below may change — update this map, never the doctrine. Every path cited below was verified to exist at this version.
How to update this map
- Who updates it: any agent or engineer making a change to the machine-side encoding of a concept — a DNA version bump, a new/renamed rule, playbook, formula, prompt, or RAG corpus, a changed service that encodes a concept, or a new canary fixture.
- When: at the same working session as the stack change (per the standing order to keep the dashboard / alignment layers current), and immediately on every DNA MINOR/MAJOR version bump.
- What to update: the DNA artifact path column only. Point it at the new path/version. If a concept's machine encoding is removed, mark it
— (not yet encoded) honestly rather than inventing a path. - What to never update: the curriculum concept column, any
doctrine/ file, or case-study/ravonics.md. If you believe a doctrine file is wrong, that is a separate, careful change — not part of a stack update. - Keep in sync: add/rename/remove entries in
manifest.yaml in the same change, and bump the curriculum VERSION per CLAUDE.md.
The fusion layer (Shipley × DNA × curriculum)
Three companion pages extend this map from the curriculum side of the seam. They answer "where does the Shipley/APMP canon itself live in the machine and the curriculum?" and are kept honest under the same rule — concept column stable, DNA column version-pinned (v0.18.2):
align/shipley-dna-fusion-map.md — the master crosswalk: every canon discipline and gate traced three ways (canon → DNA artifact → curriculum home).align/dna-corpus-full-index.md — the full human-readable index of every DNA corpus artifact, with artifacts that have no curriculum home flagged as gaps for the next build wave.align/shipley-book-canon.md — the authoritative-source index: which Shipley/APMP book teaches which concept, where the curriculum teaches it, and where the machine encodes it.
The v0.5.0 human-side companion layer
The high-rice wave added human-side reference and practice material that touches several concept rows below. These are human-side companions (they live in the curriculum, not in DNA); each is cross-referenced from the concept section it serves:
| New material | What it adds | Touches concept section(s) |
|---|
literacy/agencies/ — the agency deep-dive library | Ten profiles (DoD, DHS, DOE, GSA, NASA, NIH, SBIR/STTR, State/USAID/civic, VA) mapping how each buyer buys, evaluates, and speaks | 1 (money lives), 2 (RFP/NOFO literacy), 10 (capture strategy) |
case-library/ — four anonymized real-feeling win/loss cases | Compliance matrix (case 01), price band (case 02), teaming (case 03), ghost theme (case 04) | 4 (gates), 9 (Ravonics case), 10 (capture strategy), 11 (post-submission) |

modules/graduate/pipeline-economics.md (GE 650) | The funnel, the weighted pipeline, the B&P budget, the gate ROI call as a numbers system | 5 (scoring & pWin), 3 (pursuit pipeline) |
modules/graduate/elective-orals-coaching.md (GE 651) | Orals architecture, rehearsal protocol, hostile-Q&A discipline | 11 (post-submission & win) |
modules/company-building.md + practice/company-launch-sprint.md | Standing a GovCon firm up from zero: registration, compliance skeleton, capture function, cash | 3 (pipeline), 6 (ORBITAL business structure), 7 (lifecycle) |
literacy/credential-ladder.md, literacy/why-govcon-matters.md, literacy/capability-statement.md | The career map, the mission narrative, the one-page front door | 1 (money lives), 2 (solicitation literacy), 10 (capture strategy) |
Pipeline stage key (canonical agent-view stages)
SENSE · INGEST · FIND · SCORE · CATCH · PURSUE · DESIGN · AUDIT · APPROVE · SUBMIT · AWARD · DELIVER · LEARN · EVOLVE
The curriculum's doctrine/03 vocabulary (sense → qualify → score → pursue → design → audit → submit → deliver → learn) is the same shape; the stage column uses the agent-view names so the map reads across both sides.
Launchpad fellowship column note
The fellowship column uses the authoritative Launchpad program family (verified verbatim from the Launchpad Sandbox docs):
- Ignite Curiosity — a program of Curiosity Research Corporation (curiositycorp.org); the universal boot camp; SPARK Learning System™ (SPARK Method; SPARK Sessions).
- Framework Family — DREAM Playbook, O.R.B.I.T.A.L. Framework™, A.N.D.R.O.I.D. Ops™, GROWTH Accelerator™, SuperNova Strategy (9 stages).
- Innovator's Launchpad — 5 levels: L1 Explorer / L2 Builder / L3 Architect / L4 Networker / L5 Leader (the TOC calls L1 "Foundation Fellow"; the Launchpad doc's own name is Explorer, which is used here).
- Legacy Track — The Ignition (professionals 50+, 9 modules): M1 Findings, M2 Contract Mastery, M3 ORBITAL, M4 Proposal Writing, M5 PWIN & Dream Score, M6 Prompts, M7 The Harness (A.N.D.R.O.I.D. Ops), M8 Reach Out, M9 Legacy Builder.
- The Ascension (executives): Orbit / System / Galaxy Commander; Constellation Framework.
- The Transcendence (stewardship / pinnacle).
- C.A.S.E. — Cognitive Acquisition Systems Engineering.
- Dream Kit (operational AI layer): "Prompt (Dream Kit)" + "ORBITAL Template JSON (Dream Kit)" — the stack-specific AI-tooling docs.
Where a concept maps to several, all are listed. The concept and DNA columns do not depend on the fellowship column.

Degree ↔ Fellowship ↔ Course Crosswalk
The four human degree guides live in the SharePoint Launchpad Sandbox; the degree-tier curricula for three of them now live in this repo. This crosswalk is the key that ties each degree to the fellowship ladder and to the repo-side program overview and teaching-plan layer.
| Degree guide (Launchpad Sandbox) | Innovator's Launchpad level | Repo curriculum (this repo) | Core doctrine focus |
|---|
| Bachelor's (Dream Foundations) | L1 Explorer | course/undergraduate-program-overview.md (B.S. in Government Business Development) + modules/undergraduate/ | Where the money lives, RFP/NOFO basics, DREAM discovery, the pursuit pipeline |
| Master's (Curiosity in Action) | L2 Builder | course/graduate-program-overview.md (M.S. in Capture Management) + modules/graduate/ | O.R.B.I.T.A.L. structure, proposal writing, scoring & price-to-win, competitive strategy |
| Doctoral (Visionary Leadership) | L3 Architect + L4 Networker | course/doctoral-program-overview.md (research doctorate) + modules/doctoral/research-agenda.md | Gates & governance, pipeline orchestration, research methods, empirical design |

Concepts with no DNA counterpart yet
These are called out explicitly so the map stays honest rather than inventing paths:
| Curriculum concept | Status |
|---|
| Ravonics canary fixture in DNA | Not yet encoded — the machine-side fixture lives in DreamLimited/Overview (scripts/verify-golden-thread), not in the DNA package. If DNA later ships a fixtures/ravonics* artifact, add it to concept 9. |
| The ORBITAL record itself (7-axis doctype) | Lives in DreamLimited/dream-dash (Frappe doctype + child tables), not in DNA. DNA carries the mapping (rules/orbital-to-proposal-map.yaml), not the record. |
| UEI / CAGE / SAM.gov master record | A registry data-plane fact consumed by Source Now connectors (rules/source-now-data-manifest.yaml), not a DNA rule. Government facts live in the literacy/ layer on the curriculum side. |
| The 0.42 Dream Score threshold | Encoded in dream-track (and mirrored by the Overview golden-thread verifier), not in a DNA artifact. DNA carries the pWin composite and bid/no-bid rubric; the pipeline threshold is a stack-side constant. |
