Post-implementation technical support, not initial funding, determines project survival.
Evidence
A major limitation of the SJA projects was the lack of technical assistance beyond the first year. This proved particularly problematic for productive projects, where technical complexity demanded specialized knowledge and problem-solving capabilities beyond traditional settlement governance capacities. While Settlements 3, 5, and 7 successfully utilized collective work for initial implementation, they could not address subsequent technical and marketing challenges. — Jessica Carrick-Hagenbarth, Institutional Bricolage and Commoning…, 120
