Non-toxic spec library for general contractors (BKG)

SignalBKGHKGOKGseed

Citation Capsule

Give BKG's general contractors a citation-backed library of non-toxic material specs — each with verified performance, cost, and a primary source — so the healthy choice is the easy default at bid time. It graduates RDKG's non-toxic materials thesis straight into the revenue garden and aligns the spine with the P0 product. Earlier stage: the supporting evidence is still being verified.

killer signal — what would kill this bet

GCs won't pay any premium and ignore the non-toxic spec at bid, even at parity.

falsifier

A BKG pilot shows GCs do not open or cite the non-toxic spec in real bids.

Motivated by non-toxic materials cross cost-parity this decade. This is the bridge from RDKG foresight into BKG revenue: a verified, GC-facing spec library.

Gates cleared: 1 of 5 — pattern-fit and clearly spine-aligned, but the materials thesis is only 0.5 confidence and still signal tier, and no pilot has run. Stage is therefore thesis, not bet. Critically, this respects LD-02: it is spec/schema work that waits behind the BKG P0, not engineering pulled off it.

So we should

Pre-build the spec schema and citation trail now so it drops into BKG the moment the materials thesis verifies — without pulling engineering off the P0.
