Summer Strategy Memo
Nina's summer should make the business-builder story easier to prove. A formal entrepreneurship program can help if cost and timing work, but the self-directed business sprint is strong enough to be a real plan, not a consolation prize.
The finish line matters more than the label. By the end of summer, Nina should have one artifact: a dashboard, campaign summary, case-study page, or reflection that shows a problem, action, result, and next improvement.
