+ * An intermediate representation of an Initiative.
+ *
+ * This makes the assumption a Champion cannot fail in championing.
+ * Instead of a success status, they should be removed if unsuccessful.
+ *
+ * There is also no timestamp for completion or each edge.
+ * It should be inferred from the node timestamps instead.
+ * We can support accurate edge timestamps by interpreting wiki histories.
+ * However the additional complexity and requirements put on the tracker
+ * don't seem worthwhile right now.
+ * Especially because cred can flow even before bounties are released.
+ * See https://discourse.sourcecred.io/t/write-the-initiatives-plugin/269/6
