Hindsight draft — 25 Aug 2026 (not live)

Uses only directory/hindsight-facts.md. Not installed as Current slot. No layer claimed.

How 24–25 Aug could have been done:

The live team was founder only. P was starting line. Customer absent. Market path absent. ΔP none. S = 0. The candidate layer (hold the 24-hour loop without her restating) is a C move, not a P move toward $2.5–5bn. C was already high for unchanged P.

A day that beat that team would have put the hours on the missing P condition, not on releasing the loop. The loop remaining unreleased (None) was already the honest layer answer. The work that could have been done instead: get a first customer or market path named, or record that none exists, so the next close can be checked against $2.5–5bn without trusting process language.

Do not assemble. Founder job is not taken. This file stays a draft until 17:15, and only goes live with explicit founder direction.
