Hiring Plan and Team Roadmap

The Philosophy: A Lean Activation Team

This document outlines the structure of the temporary “activation team”, the small, core group of strategic leaders required to bootstrap a decentralized institutes of health (DIH) network. Our goal is not to build a large, permanent organization. It is to assemble an elite team whose sole function is to build a self-sustaining protocol and then make themselves obsolete.

To achieve this, we distinguish between core strategic functions and tactical execution:

  • Core Functions (Internal Team): Strategy, leadership, political maneuvering, legal architecture, and product vision are handled by the small, core team. This is the permanent brain trust.
  • Tactical Execution (Outsourced): Functions like software development, specialized quantitative analysis, and media production will be outsourced to world-class agencies and contractors. This provides flexibility and access to elite talent without building a large, permanent bureaucracy.

Our strategy is to build a lean, world-class core team for direct execution and to aggressively leverage contractors, prize-based competitions, and partner organizations to scale our impact without a large, bureaucratic overhead.

Compensation Philosophy

All core team members will receive modest, market-rate cash salaries combined with large, vested grants of VICTORY Incentive Alignment Bonds. This approach preserves cash for high-leverage political and technical spending while deeply aligning the team’s long-term financial success with the success of the mission.
