Media library
The shot list for the lecture series. Each card is a slot that exists in a deck today — drop files into /media/images, /media/video, or /media/charts and we'll wire them into the slides. Anything added here also becomes reusable for future runs of the program.
Sunset drone silhouette is the title background; the deck-departure shot anchors the cold open.
✓ Lecture 1, slides 1–2Early-era shots wanted: student drone team days, first prototype, first office. The uploads are all pro-era.
→ Lecture 1, slide 3Autonomous blade-scan clip in the traits deep-dive; Hamburg demo footage behind the closer's 🎬 button.
✓ Traits branch + closerHand-drawn whiteboard recreation (v1→v37, crossed-out revenue ideas). Swap for a real artifact anytime.
✓ Lecture 1, slide 9The 5-year-test evidence: turbine installs, fleet age, or market growth curve.
→ Lecture 1, slide 13Still in the library, unplaced: Njord Odin vessel, offshore drone launch, turbine close-ups, Mexico site road, and the sheep encounter 🐑 — earmarked for Lectures 2–3 media slots.
Drone-vs-turbine close-up is the title background; the SkySpecs-branded vessel anchors the "four years ahead" cold open.
✓ Lecture 2, slides 1–2Drone-at-work close-up on the competition case study — the rival was "inspect nothing," not other robots.
✓ Lecture 2, slide 6Autonomous blade-scan clip in the value-proposition deep-dive — scalable, repeatable, mappable.
✓ Value prop branchA sanitized real matrix from SkySpecs vs. competitors, if shareable.
→ Lecture 2, matrix slideA wind-farm operator or site manager — the "ideal customer" made concrete.
→ Lecture 2, persona builderThe three founders with the $500,000 Accelerate Michigan grand-prize check (Nov 2014) — anchors the cold open's "lucky timing" beat.
✓ Lecture 3, slide 2The $300-ladder workaround: a founder on a plank-topped U-Haul, rigging the drone-test net in the first warehouse office (2013).
✓ Lecture 3, startup expenses/media/images/ (jpg/png/webp, ideally ≥1600px wide)/media/video/ (mp4/webm — or just paste a YouTube/Vimeo link in the card above and we'll embed it)/media/charts/ (png/svg, or the raw numbers and we'll build an animated version)
