The verdict moment

Fear catalog → evidence URL → live preview in seconds, not weeks. Kill shots surface before you spend. The UI shows what would break a board narrative — while you can still fix it.
Preview is real. Full swarm depth is optional. Rate-limited public preview proves the loop without forcing paid engagement.
Honest bands — MODELED vs FACT

We do not hide MODELED. The band badge is visible uncertainty:
- MODELED — forecast and evidence band; not yet terminal on spine
- FACT — terminal receipt exists; disagreement preserved where applicable
Skeptics ask: is this just another AI audit PDF? PDFs do not carry bind / resolve / expire on the settlement spine. Ours do — or we say MODELED until they do.
Trust is not assumed. The fastest path to change the verdict is the product.
