**Dissertation_Laura** (2 files in 00-inbox/undecided/) — PhD thesis on CMR manual-vs-AI scan-rescan reproducibility with a critical review by "LP", landed in the inbox. No existing home: no 50-team/laura/ folder, and 10-research/admin/reviews/theses/ is for Gutachten *you submit* (this reads as pre-submission supervisory feedback, not a formal Zweitgutachten). Where should it live — a new student/supervision folder, or theses/reviews? (Different Laura from Laura Schreiber / 7T.) [feedback]

Strategy
2 active · 12 total
Proposed for next Fri 14:00: **Topic (Eike 2026-06-11, deferred 2026-06-12): Cooperations** — per-partner goal (data / grant co-app / IP), partner list + benefits + status + push-timing. Fold in new inbound: **David Bode (DHZC)** transmyocardial + peripheral paired-sampling HFpEF cohort. **Deferred from Fri 12 Jun — Eike: "push me to think about this next week, today overloaded by grant submission (Synergy)."**
Work next — ranked
NEXTBad Orburgentself-imposed
German consolidation step — pulls Beyond + medneo + Am Turm into one place; local doctor runs the FFM back-office.
Generates revenue + de-risks the uni exit; bridges to the Mojácar longevity centre. Next: Eike's concrete move after the Strauss/Adel chats.
**Sequencing (Eike 2026-06-07):** do Bad Orb FIRST — asap with VP (next few days).
**(2026-06-11) Eike + VP executing directly this weekend (Sat/Sun)** — handled outside the Friday strategy block.
Grantshighhard deadline
The funding ladder — €2.5M survival (2031–40) / €10–20M ambition. EN = AI-imaging, VP = trials.
Assembly started 2026-06-05 — keep momentum; longlist sequencing + DFG HFpEF Methods rewrite. Submission dates are hard.
**(2026-06-11)** New collaboration signal to fold in: **David Bode (DHZC)** — 120-pt transmyocardial + coronary-sinus + femoral paired sampling, invasive hemo + blood gas, HFpEF-rich, banked aliquots; collaboration-only (not a biobank). Strong wet-lab counterpart to leg-stress CMR energetics → hook to **DFG cmr-dyspnea-energetics** + **OLINK**. Otherwise next when time: **work the DFG grant**.
In the queue (not yet discussed)
Cooperations — **(2026-06-10)** Not done — needs a discussion; **Friday 12 Jun at the latest.** ⛔ Eike's meta-answer — per partner, what's the goal (data / grant co-app / IP)?
DZHK HFpEF focus-area (Focus group) — Focus-area co-lead governance + cluster map. Strategic positioning question — how to shape the focus group's direction and Eike/VP's role in it. Scaffolding at 40-infrastructure/research-politics/dzhk-hfpef-focus-area/.
CMR-AI product roadmap (Goethe CVI) — The spinoff product arc on top of the contour engine — what ships, in what order, MDR/FDA sequencing. Overlaps Contours + Imaging Project.
Branding — Eike + VP personal brand — uni prof + scientist + high-end practice + healthy-lifespan, AI-supported, evidence-based. Peter-Attia-style with chair-level research credentials. The brand is the people. Overlaps Bad Orb.
Show actioned — no intervention until trigger (6)
Full Imaging Projectuntil: Gantt needs a review
Milestones/timeframes/Gantt worked 2026-06-05; execution now flows via delegations + action points, not strategy.
Company sell-blocker #1, but the strategy call (two-track: nnU-Net product + interactive correction; CineMA as pre-segmenter) is made. Execution is Raphael/Luisa. Includes "how to finalize the contours" (Goethe CVI).
Get a real alternative / second source away from the majors. Lens: field strength, cost, CMR depth, openness to external tools (own feedback loop + AI-supported scanning). Narrow eval to Canon Vantage Galan 3T + United Imaging 5T vs Siemens/GE baseline — see § MR vendor landscape below.
Includes SpinLab hyperpolarizer feasibility on the FFM Prisma (X-nucleus channel + dual-tuned coil + 13C sequences; SPINlab capital ~€1.5–2.5M; QP/pharmacist for human IMP release). Park as real eval if the Würzburg 22-Jun discussion points that way.
**(2026-06-07)** Keep the full vendor table; ALSO prepare a SHORT 3T + low-field version with a table of the key questions to start asking vendors. Back burner until the DFG grant is submitted, then activate vendor contact.
**(2026-06-11) Eike: low flame — after Grants. Park 4 weeks, do NOT show in the list, then bring back (resurface 2026-07-09).** (Resolves the unclear 06-09 note: this initiative = Eike's list-item #4.)
DZHK Professors — spokesperson roleuntil: after the Eike·Tanja·Ralf kick-off call (resurface to confirm slate + board pitch)
**Worked through 2026-06-09 (strategy session closed).** Eike elected speaker 2026-06-01 (term Jun 2026 – May 2028; Tanja Zeller outgoing, Ralf Gilsbach incoming). Strategy: two engines — (A) board-mandated tasks, Eike as router not labourer; (B) uninvited "DZHK view on X" position papers, mixed authorship.
Slate to the board: **AI** (Eike leads — flagship, "get invited"), sex & gender, sustainability, + staged healthy-longevity (round 2). Signature instrument = the connection map → offer the board a **portfolio map of the DZHK project database** (links / clusters / parallel-work / opportunities / holes); demo-first (public SE network) then ask for the DB.
Full record + pre-call brief → `40-infrastructure/research-politics/dzhk-professors/STATE.md` + `outputs/2026-06-09_pre-call-brief_triumvirate.md`.
trAIectoriesuntil: vehicle-structure decision (revisit when Bad Orb / Mojácar entity structure firms up)
New company? The persistent software layer (clinical-case-UI / trAIectory app) that runs on top of both Bad Orb and Mojácar — decide whether it's its own vehicle.
**(2026-06-11) Eike: decided — the Trajectories branding/naming was worked through 2026-06-09 / Tue; positioning locked (pending VP weekend sign-off). Folds into Branding execution; off the strategy queue for now.**
Longevity / Mojácar (long-term)until: Eike reactivates (he will bring it up actively)
The destination longevity centre (Spain) that Bad Orb funds the path to. Long-horizon; the eventual flagship.
**(2026-06-11) Eike: very low flame — park for now; he'll bring it up actively when ready.**

⚠ brain-daily issues today (1) — click to expand
~~deploy_overview.py blake3 auto-install failed on cold-start sandbox~~ **FIXED today.** Root cause: `requests` ships in the base image but `blake3` (binary wheel) was fetched from PyPI every run, which is flaky on a freshly-booted sandbox. Fix: the blake3 wheel is now cached in `40-infrastructure/brain-daily/scripts/.wheels/` (in the brain folder, persists + mounted every run); `ensure_deps()` installs OFFLINE from that cache first, PyPI only as fallback. Tested: self-heals with no network. (Refresh the cache only after a Python/arch bump — command in the function docstring.)
