Work Plan — research pathway, roles, and milestones

This page translates the ARIES curriculum architecture into a Mitacs-ready work plan aligned with BCIT (BCI + Tech Collider) and future commercialization translation through Strategyzer.

Research Aim

Prototype and evaluate a governance-literate studio model for the creative industries — and produce a translation pathway from ARIES system architectures into industry-standard innovation tools.

How this connects to the website

The Processes / Resources / Values pages serve as the living specification of the studio model and its assessment structure. This Work Plan page clarifies how that specification becomes an applied research pathway for Mitacs.
