Content

In the order a learner meets it. Each block is a separate thing to write, and their order is the lecture's argument.

  1. Block 1 · text

    The budget cycle does not wait for the plan

    A provincial budget cycle runs on its own calendar, and an adaptation action submitted after the relevant call for bids waits a full year for nothing but timing. Sequencing starts with knowing the calendar, not the actions.

  2. Block 2 · text

    Sequence for delivery, not for ambition

    A submission asking for every action in one year is the easiest one to cut in full. A sequenced submission - a smaller first-year ask that unlocks a second, larger one - survives a tight budget round better than an ambitious one submitted whole.
