Chandelier institutional readiness — parametric verdict loop, honest bands, shoe printer

Tenant zero (BoB)

Deck slide 7 — Tenant zero: SKENAI dogfoods the loop first

Bootstrap to a Billion: specialize → dogfood → fund next round from proof.

SKENAI is tenant zero — we run William, Chandelier, and conversion threads on ourselves before outward GTM claims. Mission and product share one loop; integrity at the boundary matters more than total narrative harmony.

Shoe printer

Deck slide 8 — Shoe printer: IPO, Nebius, Victron catalog

Every vertical Architect names is one pair in the catalog at /shoes:

Shoe	Role	Status
IPO readiness	Verdict + paid SKUs	Revenue arc — preview live
Nebius probe	Inference-scale readiness	Probe — complement, not impersonate
Victron VRM	Field telemetry + promo XP	Sandbox — measurement rail

Qualify pattern: /gsp?door=…&ref=<vertical> after belief moment.

Honesty: Nebius funnel is live; shoe landing may be noindex. Victron awards promotional XP in sandbox — not economic finality. We complement partner stacks; we do not sell their brand.
