I hope I didn't mangle your sentence too badly :-)

I doubt if I understand your plan/campaign very well---
you may need to elaborate, but  I think that it's true
that you can point to certain software projects having
come to fruition in this manner.  Right?

But are there examples of *manufacturing* projects
successfully materializing in this kind of grass-roots
fashion?  Nobody would be happier than I'd be to
read about (or at least know that there were) such
successful projects.
