Projects & Initiatives
What we are building right now
Every project at CMRU starts with a real problem, follows a transparent process, and produces something the public can use. Here is what is on our workbench.
Active Projects
Current work in progress.
Coming Soon
Our first projects are in the scoping phase. Active work will be listed here with progress updates as things launch.

Every project follows the same five-step process.
1
Origin
A problem is identified. It can come from our research, a community member, a partner organization, or an open proposal. We assess whether the problem is real, scoped, and worth pursuing.
2
Scoping
We define what success looks like. Team composition, timeline, resources, stakeholders, and deliverables are documented in a public project brief before any building starts.
3
Execution
The building phase. Regular progress updates, open repositories, and community feedback loops. We work in sprints and share results as they develop, not just at the end.
4
Publication
Every project produces a published output. A tool, a dataset, a report, or a case study. Publication is not optional. If we cannot show the work, the project is not complete.
5
Archive
Completed projects are archived with full documentation: what worked, what did not, what we learned, and what others should know before attempting similar work.
Propose a Project
Have a problem worth solving? We accept project proposals from anyone. The best ideas come from people closest to the problem.
Proposals are reviewed on a rolling basis. We look for clearly defined problems, measurable outcomes, and community impact.
