21What We Keep, What Comes Next
The season ends with evidence and a choice about the next phase.
Planned chapter — not filmed or released. The brief is a proposal; actual access, suitability, resources and permissions must be established.
The opening question
What is genuinely useful enough to keep developing?
Review completed, partial and paused missions and propose the next costed site-specific phase.
The story in three shots
What the camera would look for.

Return
An honest closing view with the next question
Shot ideas only. Film actual work with appropriate consent; label illustrative reconstructions or AI concepts.
What would count as evidence?
Show what really happened.
Matched opening/closing images, mission statuses, anonymised actual costs and a dated next-step decision.
Keep actual dates, spending and time beside the result. A plan or a sent request remains a plan or a sent request until the outcome is evidenced.
The useful pause
Know when to stop.
No claim of an operating retreat, approved accommodation, opening date or finished facilities without evidence.
This outline is not a technical method statement, building survey or permission to begin work.
