Working backwards, we know each character stat to be affiliated with its own set of rolls, e.g martial rolls as we've seen in combat and conflict, learning rolls for magic and scholarship, diplomacy rolls for interpersonal and inter-polity relations, etc. Can we call the Waystone Project a diplomacy project, or a learning project? If the answer to that is yes, then I think it's reasonable to assume the existence of diplomacy rolls and learning rolls in the first foundational act of the Waystone Project, just as other actions affiliated with other stats get their own rolls.
If we do not get diplomacy and learning rolls, then another type of d100 roll would be event rolls that aren't tied to a particular stat, like the Consideration of Suitability or Alkharad's readiness to receive guests, or when we hired loremasters to teach the We:
In that case, we had the potential for contribution from both Karaks but only one delivered. If Karak Norn had rolled higher and Hirn had rolled lower, perhaps we would've gotten one from each Karak, which implies that there was a sliding scale of DCs in terms of the number they each contributed.
We don't know what the actual system will look like, but I don't see anything that causes me to believe that the Laying the Foundations action is dissimilar to the above. That is to say, if random chance was applicable in the above categories, then there is probably random chance here too.
As food for thought: What examples do we have of actions that didn't have rolls, and are they conceptually similar to Laying the Foundations?
