Extracted from the BioHub Glossary CSV export (Notion, August 2026). Source cell classified as Term. First-pass entry: the extended definition, contrast with adjacent terms, and usage-in-context sections require enrichment from the underlying project documents on a subsequent pass.
Definition revised 30 September 2026 at Michael Haupt’s direction, so that the place’s statement of its work and terms comes before the market, as in the Place Mandate Template and Direction of Fit. Previous definition: “The posture a BioHub is designed to achieve: tendering a verified ecological service into a market that has already signaled it will pay.”
