Sleep → Creep → Leap follows the natural rhythm of plant life: roots form first, growth happens slowly, then expansion comes fast. This pattern isn’t symbolic fluff — it’s the blueprint.

YEAR 1 — SLEEP
Purpose: Build roots. Establish trust. Prepare the foundation.
During the Sleep year, the group should:
Get to know each other and identify everyone's strengths
List skills, interests, and hidden talents
Vote on one clear problem to solve
Create a list of everything needed to solve it
Divide that list into roles and responsibilities
Form smaller working teams to focus on different parts
Identify harmful, manipulative, or sociopathic personalities and remove them
Build communication habits: honesty, respect, consistency
Metaphor:
Dr. Tye is always weeding baby oak trees since she has a couple in her
backyard. A four inch seedling with 4 leaves will have a taproot of eight
inches. It is how you grow a mighty oak. That initial grounding into
resources is important.

YEAR 2 — CREEP
Purpose: Test the plan. See what works. Fix what doesn't.
During the Creep year, the Unit should:
Start executing the plan created in Year 1
Experiment, test, and gather results
Improve systems and remove weak points
Strengthen teamwork
Adjust roles based on what people naturally excel at
Expand access to resources
Stay patient — slow progress now prevents bigger mistakes later
Think of Creep as "gentle forward motion."
The work becomes practical.
The Unit begins to function like a real machine.

YEAR 3 — LEAP
Purpose: Execute at full force with a proven plan.
During the Leap year, the Unit should:
Move into full action with a solid, tested structure
Coordinate with other Units worldwide working on the same problem
Share data, discoveries, and resources
Execute refined solutions efficiently
Use collective momentum to accelerate progress
Year 3 is where transformation happens.
When Units leap together, their speed and impact multiply.
The Core Rule
Do not skip a year.
Strength comes from process.
Sleep builds the base.
Creep teaches the truth.
Leap delivers the results.
This is how you build a Unit that survives, grows, and hands its work to the next generation.
