1. there's a lot of trial and error in developing a program. That's why any new program should be only a "special project" for a while, off the org main lines, really, under special management. If a "special project" starts to show up well in finance (and only in finance), then one should include it "in" with its new staff as an org standard project. (HCO PL 24 Dec 66)

2. to find and establish a program, one conceives of a solution and sets it up independent of org lines with its own staff and finance as a special project. When a special project is seen to be effective or, especially, profitable, it is then put into the org lines as worked out in the "special project," bringing its own staff with it.
