Daily Action Flow, August 28, 2026
Central judgment
Separate ownership from neutrality, bodies from labour, inflow from breadth, protocol choice from migration duty, megawatts from financeable assets, and demand from cash conversion. Each signal needs one next proof before its thesis earns more capital or authority.
Eight signals. Clean denominators. One next proof each.
Frontier Models
