SFF is reinstantiated with a new composition once per year
These are both overstatements.
The Recommender pool is reinstantiated every year with a new composition, but there are typically 3-6 returning Recommenders (out of 6-12 total). Institutional knowledge also carries over year-to-year through paid staff at SFC which help run SFF programs, and the persistent group of 30-40 Speculators who evaluate grant proposals prior to S-Process rounds.
