+# Database Structure and Interconnectivity
+
+## Overview
+
+The City Resource Graph database uses PostgreSQL with PostGIS for spatial data and GORM as the ORM layer. The architecture follows the concept documentation with enhancements for industrial symbiosis matching.
+
+**Core Entities:**
+
+- **Organizations**: Businesses, institutions, and other entities (commercial, healthcare, educational, cultural, religious, government, infrastructure)
+- **Sites**: Physical locations/buildings where organizations operate
+- **ResourceFlows**: Resource inputs/outputs and services at specific sites
+- **Matches**: Potential or actual resource exchanges between organizations
+- **SharedAssets**: Equipment/infrastructure that can be shared among businesses
+
+## Domain Models (GORM)
+
+### Organizations Table
+
+Represents all types of organizations including businesses, healthcare facilities, educational institutions, cultural venues, and religious organizations.
+
+**Schema:**
+
+```sql

+
+## Relationships and Interconnectivity
+
+### Organization-Site Relationships
+
+1. **Ownership**: An Organization can own multiple Sites
+   - `sites.owner_business_id` → `organizations.id`
+   - One-to-many relationship
+
+2. **Operation**: Organizations can operate at multiple Sites (multi-tenant buildings)
+   - Many-to-many relationship via `site_operating_businesses` junction table
+   - `sites.operating_businesses` stores array of organization IDs
+
+### Junction Table for Many-to-Many
+
+```sql
+CREATE TABLE site_operating_businesses (
+    site_id TEXT REFERENCES sites(id) ON DELETE CASCADE,
+    organization_id TEXT REFERENCES organizations(id) ON DELETE CASCADE,
+    PRIMARY KEY (site_id, organization_id)
+);
+```
+
+**GORM Junction Model:**
+
+```go
+type SiteOperatingBusiness struct {
+    SiteID         string `gorm:"primaryKey"`
+    OrganizationID string `gorm:"primaryKey"`
+    Site           Site
+    Organization   Organization
+}
+```
+
+## Additional Tables
+
+- `city_geometry`: Spatial boundaries and geometries (PostGIS)
+- `historical_timeline`: Historical events and data points
+- `businesses`: Legacy table (can be deprecated)
+- `sqlite_businesses`: Raw imported data (can be deprecated)
+
+## Migration Strategy
+
+1. Use existing Organizations and Sites tables
+2. Create junction table for many-to-many relationships
+3. Add GORM models to the domain layer
+4. Update repository implementations to use GORM
+5. Add database migrations for any schema changes
+
+## Notes
+
+- All tables use UUIDs for IDs (stored as TEXT)
+- JSONB fields for flexible data storage
+- PostGIS for spatial queries on coordinates
+- Timestamps use timezone-aware types
+- Indexes optimized for common query patterns</content>

+. Individual pilot deals have averaged in the hundreds of thousands of dollars. Program cycle: 9-week cohorts run roughly semi-annually with specific challenge statements from government departments. Eligibility: Innovative companies worldwide can apply; selected teams must relocate to Dubai for the program duration. Focus: Challenges span smart city, energy, water, waste management, and industrial IoT among others. For example, there have been DFA challenges on waste-to-resource innovation and digital platforms for smart infrastructure. Startups work closely with a government sponsor (e.g. Dubai Municipality, DEWA, etc.) to develop a pilot. Relevance: Turash could participate if a challenge relates to industrial symbiosis (e.g. optimizing waste reuse in Dubai’s industrial zones). The program offers an excellent testbed and subsequent scaling in Dubai, with government as a reference customer. Link: Dubai Future Accelerators info

+## 🚀 NEXT STEPS
+
+### 1. **Immediate** (Week 1) - 🔴 CRITICAL
+
+1. **Company Registration Documents**
+   - Verify if company is already registered in Germany
+   - If registered: Gather all registration documents
+   - If not registered: Start registration process (may take 1-4 weeks)
+   - Document Berlin address/proof of location
+   - Create `funding/applications/company_registration/` directory
+   - Place all registration documents there
+
+### 2. **Short-term** (Week 2-3) - 🟡 HIGH PRIORITY
+
+2. **Proof of Concept/Prototype** (if time permits)
+   - Build minimal prototype/demo for proof of concept
+   - Document proof of concept results
+   - Create demo video/screenshots
+   - **OR** Emphasize strong technical foundation and detailed architecture for early applications
+
+### 3. **Before Applications** (Week 4+) - Preparation
+
+3. **Final Review**
+   - Review all program-specific documents
+   - Ensure all budget files are formatted correctly
+   - Verify CVs are complete and formatted properly
+   - Format for specific funding program requirements
+   - Submit applications

 ## Core MVP Value Proposition
 
 ### Problem
+
 - Businesses waste money on utilities they could share
 - Neighbors don't know each other's resource needs
 - No simple way to find "I have X, you need X" opportunities
 
 ### Solution (MVP)
+
 1. **Simple Declaration**: Business fills 5-minute form
 2. **Automatic Matching**: System finds compatible neighbors
 3. **Clear ROI**: "Connect to Business Y → Save €18k/year"
 
 ### Why It Works
+
 - **High Value**: Rare but valuable matches (1-3 per year, big savings)
 - **Low Friction**: Simple data entry, clear results
 - **Network Effects**: More businesses = better matches

 **Why Neo4j**:

 - Natural graph traversal (relationships already defined)
 - Foundation for complex multi-hop queries later
 - Simple query now, add complexity as needed
 
 ### Step 3: Economic Scoring (Go)

 ```go
 // Simple calculation (foundation for MILP optimization later)
 func calculateSavings(inputFlow, outputFlow ResourceFlow, distanceKm float64) float64 {
     // Basic savings = cost difference * quantity
