You only have enough funding for one program. But several projects need cash to launch.
So we are often tempted to create a program, build a facility, or plan an event that covers several potential projects. It becomes like a spork.
A spork is a combination of spoon and fork. Fast food restaurants sometimes provide them, but they are more cost effective than providing both for salads and soups. But the talked-up spork is not excellent at anything. We often end up trying to cut our steak with a spork, rather than reaching for a knife.
Multi-use programs sound attractive, but for a tough steak you want a real knife.
