Great Work — Utah

greatutah.work — master index

This is the router for 904 pages about high-impact work in Utah. Pick the path that matches the question; use the complete type indexes when no narrower path fits. Index first; search to refine.

Start by goal

  • Read the best of it first: the tier list ranks all 487 fact pages on one impact ladder. The 46 pages in S and A are high-impact gems; 15 starred pages are unusually revealing discovery picks and sort first inside their letter. Pages still being done are marked (active); others show the year of their last public record. The letter is how far a thing could move the world, not a vote that it's good — the top of the list includes weapons, surveillance, and mines.
  • Find people worth betting on: the builder tier list reads 487 fact pages for conviction, agency, craft, costly commitment, and community formation. Its 30 hidden gems are active S/A builder signals whose demonstrated impact is still C or below. Missing signal is not negative evidence.
  • Find meaningful work: by kind of work (15 role families), then all stated needs (175 organizations) and Find Meaningful Work in Utah. These are leads derived from page assessments, not confirmed openings; verify with the organization.
  • Start or fund a high-growth company: Startup Capital in Utah · Find an Advisor
  • Grow a Main Street or rural business without venture capital: Find Business Services routes formation, lending, procurement, regulation, and workforce help; combine it with resources and by Utah location.
  • Commercialize research or find technical space: Commercialize Research in Utah · Find Prototyping Space
  • Explore a field: use a sector hub, then open the full pages behind the promising lines. If the hub is sparse, search synonyms and check the complete type indexes—the Domain rollout is incomplete.
  • Find nearby work or resources: browse by Utah location, use the map, or query https://greatutah.work/api/locations?near=Salt+Lake+City&radius_miles=35. Proximity results include only mapped public sites and coarse regional anchors, so also check the Region view.
  • See what Utah has built: historical and current work, optionally grouped by era.
  • Investigate a claim: find and open the subject page first, follow its Evidence links, then use the evidence graph to see every page that relies on each source.
  • Search for something specific: https://greatutah.work/api/search?q=enhanced+geothermal is exact-phrase, full-text search. Make several narrow synonym probes (for example climate, energy, geothermal); it is not fuzzy or relevance-ranked.

Sectors

Sector hubs separate primary players, historical proof, people, programs, current needs, and pages where the sector is secondary. Domain attribution currently covers 253/904 pages (28%); an absent result may mean the rollout is incomplete, not that Utah has no work in that field.
