Afterchaos objectives

Set the basis, document the methodology + processes required to build the HVCT model, prove the validity of such a model for our new media community.

1: establish a working team

2: delineate the model conceptually

3: document processes

4: test model on a pro-bono project

5: retroaction

6: launch model with a real client

7: revision and publishing the model to community
