Point of order: You aren't a "permie nobody." You have the sum of your experience, ideas, skills, knowledge, plans, friends, dreams, hopes, spirit, and potential that is completely and totally unique to you. Nobody else in the world has exactly what you have, where and when you have it. Don't sell yourself short. As long as there is breath in your lungs, the possibilities remain endless.

To win the grand prize, teams must demonstrate a working solution at a scale of at least 1000 tonnes removed per year; model their costs at a scale of 1 million tonnes per year; and show a pathway to achieving a scale of gigatonnes per year in future.
Any carbon negative solution is eligible: nature-based, direct air capture, oceans, mineralization, or anything else that achieves net negative emissions, sequesters CO2 durably, and show a sustainable path to achieving low cost at gigatonne scale"
But hypothetically, say Geoff was put in charge of an X-Team, what do you think he would do first?
In other words, if you called him up right now, and he said "sure, mate, where do we start on this problem?" How would you reply?
