The Sweet Sixteen Initiatives
“One platform. Sixteen initiatives. Infinite interconnections.”
Liana Banyan operates through 16 integrated initiatives spanning food, healthcare, finance, manufacturing, education, and community safety. Each initiative has its own Crown (leader), AI Steward, and operational structure — but all share the same infrastructure and economics.
