Central judgment
Expand authority only after a fixed task produces accepted, recoverable results.
Eight signals. One bounded next move each.
Frontier Models and Agents
Benchmark one accepted task
Provider efficiency claims matter only when the same real task remains acceptable at lower total cost.
Execution
- Freeze one read-only research task and its acceptance test.
- Compare acceptance, total cost, takeovers, and recoveries.
Definition of done
All four measures exist and no production route changes.
Physical AI and Robotics
Wait for site economics
Six deployed robots are useful evidence, while uptime, rework, intervention, and retention remain unknown.
Execution
- Record a named paying deployment when public.
- Add uptime, rework, and takeovers from dated evidence.
Definition of done
All four site-economics fields are evidenced; otherwise WATCH.
Crypto Capital Flows
Keep the five-session window
A fixed complete window prevents provisional zeros and one-day rebounds from becoming a regime claim.
Execution
- Refresh complete BTC and ETH issuer rows.
- Upgrade only when both five-session sums are positive.
Definition of done
The classification is refreshed without a trade instruction.
Stablecoins and Payment Rails
Score one live corridor
A platform launch does not prove end-to-end cost, speed, redemption, or compliance.
Execution
- Choose one currently supported asset and corridor.
- Record fee, arrival time, redemption entity, and compliance owner.
Definition of done
Every corridor field has current public evidence.
Content and Visibility
Define bounded standing delegation
A recurring decision disappears only when authority, acceptance, exceptions, recovery, and revocation are explicit.
Execution
- Publish the four-language paper framework.
- Keep the five-task experiment NOT_RUN until separately authorized.
Definition of done
Canonical article, sources, ledger, visual, and archived derivative pass local gates.
Read the canonical deep dive →AI Infrastructure and Career
Separate leased from energized megawatts
A capacity lease signals demand while permits, interconnection, and delivery remain conditional.
Execution
- Record binding capacity and all conditions.
- Add target energization and delay liability.
Definition of done
Four deliverability fields are evidenced; otherwise WATCH.
Late-Stage Private Markets
Hold Ramp at WATCH
Company-reported scale lacks audited margin, retention, credit-loss, and round-term evidence.
Execution
- Request no allocation and make no contact.
- Track audited revenue, gross margin, retention, losses, and terms when public.
Definition of done
All five underwriting fields exist before INVESTIGATE.
Public Equities
Separate price from demand
Two-session underperformance cannot establish weaker AI orders or fair value.
Execution
- At the next filing, update AI demand and 2nm ramp.
- Add overseas-fab margin dilution without using price as a proxy.
Definition of done
The thesis changes only from company evidence; no trade is created.
