# Find outside opportunities

Purpose:: Turn outside opportunities into practical help for where you are now.

Rules::
- Fit, timing and low effort over hype
- Verify live sources, eligibility and dates; label guesses
- Prepare outreach or applications; sending, spending and commitments need a yes

Inventory::
- Your current direction and what you are working on
- The live web

Steps::
1. Name your strongest asset and your current bottleneck
2. Search beyond your bubble: people, partners, communities, distribution, programmes, credits, funding
3. Pick up to 3 fresh leads: what each unlocks, why now, link, deadline, effort
4. Research the best lead further; prepare one concrete next move or draft
5. Nothing fits: say so

Metrics::
- A short sourced shortlist
- One next move ready to review
