Pagan Homeland Collaboration Wayfinder
Site Radar
A watch table for possible properties, real facts, and hard limits.
Use this page to submit property leads, review site status, find screening tools, and keep property work documented. A place can be interesting without being ready. A low price can still carry a high burden. The land deserves better than wishful thinking.
Current Site Radar Status
PHC is building the habits that make property work survivable: intake, sorting, screening, due diligence, lessons learned, and clean records.
Current Use
The Property Lead / Site Radar Submission Form is live and can receive internal property leads for review.
Core property review records are connected here: Site Radar Database, Berlin Model Dossier, Medina Model Notes, screening rubric, due diligence checklist, minimum conditions, preferred site types, activation framework, property dossier template, property-stage folders, Closed Leads, Signal Tracker, Drive Map, and Archive Map.
Some connected records are still stubs. A stub is not a failure. It is a marked place where the fuller record belongs.
What This Page Is For
Site Radar is for watching and sorting. It lets PHC notice possible sites without pretending every lead deserves energy.
This page should help PHC ask better questions before anyone starts imagining keys, kitchens, shrines, or ribbon-cutting.
Submit + Review
Use these routes when there is a property lead, a review tool, a folder, or a record to find.
Site Radar vs. Model Properties
These pages are related, however they do different jobs. Mixing them together makes the work muddy.
Site Radar
Site Radar is for possible properties that need watching, sorting, basic facts, review notes, or follow-up.
A Site Radar record answers: “What is this place, what do we know, what do we not know, and does it deserve more attention?”
- early leads
- watchlist properties
- reachable or listed sites
- properties under deeper review
- closed leads and lessons
Model Properties
Model Properties are examples used to test PHC’s thinking. They help the committee learn how review should work before anyone treats a property as active.
A Model Property answers: “What does this example teach us about use, cost, stewardship, risk, access, records, and Board-ready process?”
- process-testing examples
- case studies
- review practice
- language testing
- lessons for future stewards
Property Review Stages
The stage name should tell people what is actually true, not what we wish were true.
Strong Watchlist Signal
High relevance. Worth close attention. Still not a commitment.
Early Lead
A property lead worth tracking. Not active and not approved.
Reachable or Live
A property appears reachable, for sale, or worth active follow-up.
Deeper Screening
More review or due diligence has begun. Still not approval.
Next-Step Ready
A site has passed internal review thresholds for a possible next step. Still not acquisition.
Dead, Paused, or Unsuitable
A lead is dead, paused, unsuitable, unavailable, or no longer active. Keep the lesson.
Property Stage Folder Routes
Folders are not magic. They work when people put the right record in the right place.
Stage Folder Reminder
Moving or finding a property record in a stage folder does not approve acquisition, control, negotiation, spending, fundraising, or public statements.
Stage folders are for review discipline. They help the next person understand what happened.
Use Stage Folders To Track
- early property leads
- active or reachable properties
- records under deeper review
- targets that may be ready for Board-facing next-step review
- closed, dead, paused, or unsuitable leads and lessons
Site Review Tools
These tools exist so the work can be checked before it becomes expensive.
Model Properties
Model records help PHC learn from examples without pretending an example is a decision.
Berlin WI — 242–246 E Park Ave / St. Joseph’s Campus
Useful for testing historic former church review, multi-parcel concerns, adaptive reuse, title review, floodplain and ADA issues, code review, condition unknowns, stewardship planning, and Board-safe language.
Open Berlin Model DossierMedina Wedding Chapel
Useful for testing earned revenue, handfasting or rites-of-passage use, community benefit, local Pagan vendor ecosystems, and public-facing site activation.
Medina Model Notes currently links to a controlled Drive stub record until fuller notes are built.
Open Medina Model NotesRelated Wayfinder Pages
Property work touches records, funding, operations, archives, and technical maintenance. Use the right door.
No-Go Triggers
Some facts mean slow down. Some facts mean stop.
No-Go Triggers
A property should not move forward if any of these are true:
- no real stewardship pathway exists
- parcel control cannot be made coherent
- title problems are serious and not curable
- zoning or use path does not work
- floodplain or setback realities block safe use
- roof, structure, MEP, or life-safety burden exceeds real capacity
- ADA or access path is impossible or ignored
- insurance is unavailable or unrealistic
- Board alignment is absent
- the project depends on symbolism instead of governable infrastructure
Record Safety Note
Property notes may include sensitive owner, parcel, negotiation, title, repair, legal, insurance, or financial details.
Keep sensitive property records in the correct controlled Drive location. Do not expose restricted diligence material directly on this page.
Site Radar should keep the trail marked. It should not become the negotiation table.
Keep the Record Useful
Property work gets messy fast. The answer is not more excitement. The answer is better records.
Current Use Note
This page connects to the live Property Lead / Site Radar Submission Form, current internal Wayfinder routes, Archive Map, Signal Log, Signal Tracker, Drive Map, Site Radar Database, 04_PROPERTIES folder, property-stage folders, Closed Leads folder, and current property review records.
Medina is currently linked as a stub record. The Site Radar Database is currently linked as a stub tracker. These preserve the correct source location until fuller records are built.
Closed Leads uses the existing 04_05_Closed – Dead Leads + Lessons folder. No duplicate Closed Leads folder should be created.
Working Note
A property lead is not a promise. A dossier is not a purchase. A map note is not a claim.
The work is to look clearly, document honestly, ask hard questions early, and close the lead when the facts say no.
If a site is strong enough, the record should be able to carry that strength without shouting.
