How tier-2 concentration hides from a conventional supplier scorecard

Conventional scorecards rate suppliers in isolation. The Coupling-force aggregator does not. Here's what changed when one auto manufacturer let us look.

L5 adversarial: red-teaming your own answer

The fifth layer is the only one whose job is to attack the work of the other eight. A technical note on construction, calibration, and a few surprises.

Sub-second dispatch decisions on a 90-agent reflex run

The energy domain pack runs in Focused mode at substation granularity. A backtest, the failure modes we surfaced, and the curtailment we eliminated.

Underwriting at per-policy granularity without losing the portfolio view

The L7 memory architecture is what makes this work. A note on how episodic memory composes against semantic memory in the underwriting pass.
