Venture loop: ventures, not tools
Pitches carry a name, who it's for, a next version and a CTA. The board may rank nothing and needs two seats behind a winner. Every venture gets a `signal` issue (👍 = I want the next version) and a Want-more section on the page pointing at it. After ship: a launch stage drafts posts for the chair (never sent), and a measure stage 24h later queues an iterate card or parks the venture. Seats that reply in prose get re-asked once.
