What Do You Call…

We’ve already got a name for conventional infrastructure projects that are ready to go: shovel-ready. But what do we call ready-to-fund projects that might be part of a needed creativity stimulus?

Here’s a list our gang at the MPI came up with:

  • Production Ready
  • Neuron Ready
  • Spotlight Ready
  • Camera Ready
  • YouTube Ready
  • Synapse Ready
  • Cortex Ready
  • Imagination Ready
  • Log-in Ready
  • Google Ready
  • Performer Ready
  • Web 2.0 Ready
  • Stage Ready
  • Performance Ready
  • Canvas Ready
  • Realization Ready
  • Communication Ready
  • Pen-stroke Ready
  • Roll-out Ready

Vote for your favorites and feel free to suggest more.
