Stories/Impact to Capture

Candidates for Airtable or quoted-impact.md

• sofIA collaboration — Reuben’s recommendation on few-shot prompting (vs fine-tuning) + Prompt Lab proposal could land as [THOUGHT-PARTNER] / [TOOLBOX] / [CO-CREATE]. Watch for Sergio’s follow-up.
• Studio Services & CRISPRkit (Thu) — Multi-team alignment moment. Potential [ALIGN] or [BRIDGE-BUILD].
• Dancing through Time (Thu) — Seed grant check-in w/ Cyan. Opportunity to log interaction tags.

Carried to Next Week
