A workforce lab justified by the tenant it trains for — 175 certificates and ≥$9.95M extramural, owed by a named public university board. S-18 S-19
The cluster's workforce bet — and the documentary proof of the catalyst cascade: a university lab built explicitly around American Magic's arrival, with the cleanest obligor of any decision here (a fully-named public university board on a signed instrument). S-19 S-31 S-18
By 2034: ≥175 marine-composites certificates ($18,947 clawback per certificate short) and ≥$9.95M in extramural funding obtained and spent (23.8% of any shortfall). Term sheet executed 2024-12-18 — yet non-binding until a definitive grant agreement.
Nothing yet, honestly: outcomes are too early to assess, and the definitive grant agreement is not in the record. That absence is the open question this page holds.

Rows are this decision's entries in the Money ledger; stages are never summed together.
Term sheet executed 2024-12-18 by Triumph's Chairman and UWF's President (DocuSign): up to $3,315,600 of a $16,655,600 project — the grant is ~20% of the project. Note: executed, yet its own boilerplate disclaims binding effect until a definitive GAA.
Two binding metrics by 2034-12-31: ≥175 Net New Certificates (ABYC Marine Composites), clawback $18,947 per certificate short; and obtain-and-spend ≥$9,946,800 in extramural funding, clawback 23.8% of the shortfall. The basis of the 23.8% figure is not derivable from the face amounts — recorded as stated, flagged.
WAVE's proposal builds the case on American Magic's arrival — "has attracted many WAVE related industries" — and names the partnership in its application. This is the cluster narrative forming in a primary document (2024), before Triumph's 2026 reframing. Because the claim is asserted by its beneficiary, it is rendered here as a claimed relationship, never as neutral fact.
The definitive GAA for #330 — the binding instrument beyond the term sheet — is not in the record; actual certificate and extramural progress is too early to assess.
Verified edges are supported by an executed document. Proposed and reported edges describe instruments that are drafted, approved-but-nonbinding, or stated publicly. Inferred edges are the project's own reading of the record, labeled as such.
