Operating Node: where the team, equipment, labs, customers and partners need to be. Living Base: where the founder wants to live. The three may overlap, but programme registration, actual-operation, expenditure and project-location rules must be checked individually.

Active programme / infrastructure describes a current platform or carrier. Strategic direction is not an individual entitlement. Watch item means the founder should not build a plan around it without verification.
