CURRENT PROJECTS
Three ways the inquiry is becoming practical.
These projects are at different stages. One is already working, one is being developed toward its first proposal, and one will test whether a profitable local business can also help fund useful work close to home.
They are not a finished program or the complete definition of OverDevelopment. Each makes a different part of the larger inquiry more observable, practical, or testable.
Working public toolOngoing
Pelican Watch
What becomes possible when public records and local decisions are easier to find, examine, and understand?
Pelican Watch is an ongoing civic reference tool that makes local government records and public decisions easier to examine. It already exists and operates independently as a working tool. It represents the observational side of OverDevelopment: preserving the source material, explaining what can be verified, and helping people see how local decisions are made.

Developing ideaBefore first proposal
Edible Commons
Can one shared landscape reconnect food, practical knowledge, land, and ordinary community life?
Edible Commons is an idea being developed toward its first real proposal. It explores whether shared land can produce food, preserve useful knowledge, and create a place where people participate rather than merely pass through.

Financial experimentLaunching
The Shop
Can hyperlocal satire become a profitable business while eventually helping fund useful local work?
The Shop turns locally specific observations and satire into physical merchandise. TikTok will be its primary local marketing channel. The immediate goal is to build a sustainable, profitable business that generates meaningful personal profit for Andrew and supports the continued work behind OverDevelopment.
This is a for-profit project intended to support Andrew and the continued work behind OverDevelopment. If it becomes financially successful, part of that success may later fund small local projects. No funding program or recipients have been established.

These projects serve different purposes: Pelican Watch makes public information more usable, Edible Commons develops a practical possibility, and the Shop tests whether local attention and commerce can generate resources for further work.
Their status will be described honestly as they develop. Ideas may change, experiments may fail, and future funding will not be promised before the means to provide it actually exist.
