Add structured directory to the d/acc Market Map page
Problem
The d/acc Market Map page includes an excellent infographic mapping 80+ projects across the defensive acceleration ecosystem. However, the infographic is a static PNG — none of the projects are linked, named in structured form, or navigable from the page itself.
A visitor who discovers a project logo they're interested in currently has to:
- Identify the logo visually
- Guess or research the project name
- Search externally for the project website
- Hope they found the right entity
This creates unnecessary friction and multiple points of failure, especially for less well-known projects in verticals like Civic Tech, Biodefense, and Property Rights where logos aren't widely recognized.
Proposal
Append a d/acc Market Map Directory section to the existing page content — a compact, categorized list of every project on the map with its name linked to its primary website. Organized by the same verticals shown in the infographic (Biodefense & Health Systems, Resilient Manufacturing, Zero-Knowledge Systems, etc.).
The format is intentionally minimal: project names as inline links, grouped under category headings, using the · separator pattern. No descriptions or editorializing — the existing prose on the page already provides that context.
Why this matters
- The page's own framing states the map's goal is to make the d/acc ecosystem "legible." A static image with no links works against that goal.
- The infographic's "Did we miss something? Let us know" prompt signals the map is intended as a living resource — a structured directory supports that intent.
- The current governance proposal discussing d/acc-focused grants restructuring makes this directory more operationally relevant.
Implementation
Single markdown file edit to src/content/research/d-acc-market-map.md. New section appended after "Further Reading." No structural or styling changes to the existing page. PR incoming.
