Three calls the board hasn't had to make yet

Three real places, three real elevations, one real consortium. At each stop, make the call, then see what's actually true, sourced. Neither button changes the facts. That's the point.

denver, co · 5,280 ft

santa fe, nm · 7,199 ft

idaho springs, co · 7,540 ft

01 · Denver, CO · 5,280 ft: the measurement call

Illinois already published a workforce number: 33,000-plus "quantum-relevant" credentials in 2024. Colorado has published none. Do you publish a Colorado baseline now, even if it looks small next to Illinois, or wait until EQUIP's numbers grow?

02 · Santa Fe, NM · 7,199 ft: the siting call

A $20M NIST manufacturing center just went to SRI International, hosted in Gaithersburg, for technology (cryostats, lasers) that Colorado companies actually build. Do you lobby hard to site the next one in Colorado, competing against an established federal contractor, or let NIST Boulder's existing "consulted" role stand?

03 · Idaho Springs, CO · 7,540 ft: the recusal call

Elevate's board chair runs Maybell Quantum. A board director runs Quantinuum. Both companies compete for the same federal dollars the board helps oversee. Should either recuse himself from votes touching his own company's funding?
