Public Pack v0.4j (candidate)
Review-gated. Do not treat as final until stakeholder feedback is logged and gates are closed.
All claim cards (index for auditors)
- CC-PP-001 — Scope lock: Presidio-first (satellites feed the Presidio spine) Supported
- CC-PP-002 — Interpretive spine: four chapter lenses (working set) Proposal
- CC-PP-003 — Founding-year wording stays conservative until a milestone is chosen Conservative
- CC-PP-004 — Angel of Goliad documentation anchor: MOU parties + $500k line item Supported
- CC-PP-005 — Open gates: stewardship wording + founding-year milestone + Angel of Goliad evidence trail Gated
1) Interpretive spine (Presidio-first)
This project treats Presidio La Bahía as the primary interpretive anchor. Satellite sites are handled as modules that support Presidio chapters rather than creating parallel spines.
Working chapter lenses (for organizing copy): Borderlands & Empire · Mission/Presidio System · Revolution & Memory (1835–1836) · Afterlives & Stewardship.
Presidio La Bahía is the primary interpretive anchor for this project. Satellite sites (Fannin battleground, Angel of Goliad, Zaragoza Birthplace) are treated as modules that map into the Presidio chapter spine—not parallel narratives.
- Scope lock (in-pack) — Governance / project constraint (client-reviewed).
Working interpretive lenses: (1) Borderlands & Empire, (2) Mission/Presidio System, (3) Revolution & Memory (1835–1836), (4) Afterlives & Stewardship. These are planning lenses to organize exhibit copy and are expected to refine during stakeholder review.
- Intent + Masterplan Chronology (in-pack) — Internal planning artifact (versioned).
2) Founding-year wording (kept conservative)
Public-facing wording stays conservative on “founding/establishment” year because different official sources use different milestones. Until we choose a milestone definition, the narrative uses early 1720s rather than pinning a single year.
See Gates R2 for the two-sided evidence card and closure recipe.
Different sources describe “founding/establishment” using different milestones. Until we pick a milestone definition, public wording stays at “early 1720s” and we keep the discrepancy visible in Gates (R2).
- 1721 excerpt (Visitor Guide) — Shows 1721 milestone language.
- 1749 excerpt (THC site page) — Shows 1749 milestone language.
3) Angel of Goliad (documentation anchor)
For the Angel of Goliad Plaza story, we anchor the public narrative in the most stable documentation available: the MOU parties and a committee packet excerpt that explicitly ties a $500,000 amount to adjacent County-owned land including the Angel of Goliad Plaza.
A documented MOU trail exists for the Angel of Goliad Plaza work: (a) the MOU identifies parties (Texas Historical Commission and Goliad County), and (b) a committee packet excerpt states THC will pay $500,000 for adjacent County-owned land including the Angel of Goliad Plaza (context: proposed agreement).
- MOU parties excerpt — TownCloud PDF packet link (treat as potentially unstable).
- $500k excerpt (committee packet) — Committee packet excerpt; ties $500k to Angel of Goliad Plaza.
4) Open gates (what stays conservative)
Some items remain intentionally constrained until documentation is captured or a stakeholder decision is made. This keeps outward-facing language accurate and avoids overclaiming.
See Review Notes for closure recipes.
Some language remains intentionally constrained until gates close: (R5) stewardship/mandate wording pending executed documents; (R2) founding-year milestone selection; (R3) Angel of Goliad documentation trail (keep as tradition until primary evidence is captured).
