A SOON-temperature stream is not a dead stream — it is a stream with a condition. The condition is real, specific, and external: a property phase completing, an AI licensing event triggering, an international milestone landing, a regulatory window opening. When the condition is met, the stream moves. Until then, it waits — but it must be watched.
Without Protocol 077, SOON streams rot. The condition happens and no one notices. The stream stays at SOON when it should be HOT. The job is never created. The revenue is never activated. Protocol 077 ensures every SOON stream has a watcher, every trigger is caught, and every activation creates a job within 48 hours.
Condition Type A — Property Phase: Stream activation is linked to a property acquisition, planning permission, or site development reaching a specific stage. Monitor: planning portal, Land Registry, Companies House filings of the linked entity.
Condition Type B — Regulatory Event: Stream activation is linked to a regulatory change — EPR obligation expansion, PRN pricing shift, Environment Agency announcement, or DEFRA policy update. Monitor: gov.uk, Environment Agency alerts, EPR industry publications.
Condition Type C — International Milestone: Stream activation is linked to an international expansion event — country entry, partner agreement, licensing deal, regulatory approval in a new territory. Monitor: sovereign briefings, entity-level international dashboards.
Condition Type D — Technology/AI Trigger: Stream activation is linked to an AI licensing event, platform capability milestone, or technology deployment threshold. Monitor: sovereign intelligence feed, H.BLUE agent alerts.
Every SOON stream is assigned to a SOON Stream Trigger Monitor (micro-job MJ-SOON-002). Each monitor watches a batch of 10 streams per week. The monitor checks assigned streams against their condition type using public signals only.
A SOON Stream Readiness Scan (micro-job MJ-SOON-001) is run quarterly across all 75 SOON streams to identify any streams within 30 days of their activation condition. Scan outputs feed directly into monitoring prioritisation.
Doctrine: A SOON stream that triggers without being caught is a system failure, not a market failure. Protocol 077 makes that impossible.
