Honest pipeline status: The Partnership Center framework is defined but the pipeline is empty. No partners are confirmed. No outreach has been conducted. No agreements have been executed. The categories, stages, and Triangle focus are published here transparently so that the infrastructure is ready when partnership development begins.
