Turnaround: 2 days
Board story: Spec authority compounds when buyers can verify provenance without trusting our marketing copy.

Turnaround: 1 days
Board story: A measurement product becomes the cheapest moat — competitors cannot fake quarterly signed data.
Gap: Per-vertical sub-issues would compound buyer signal — currently a single combined report per quarter.
Turnaround: 4 days
Board story: Narrow operator tools outperform broad executive dashboards when the buyer's first question is concrete.
Gap: Net-new lane after archiving 10 exec-family duplicates — buyer signal not yet collected for which of the 4 has highest pull-through.
Turnaround: 5 days
Board story: Regulated-industry buyers test vendor vocabulary discipline first — language posture is the screening filter before capability.
Gap: No HealthTech buyer in the pipeline yet — surfaces are show-don't-tell evidence rather than active sales tools.
Turnaround: 5 days
Board story: Growth Ops is the adjacent vertical that broadens audience beyond AI governance — same playbook applied to the martech buyer.
Gap: identity-risk-evidence-ledger CI broken (eslint peer-dep, issue #11 filed) — blocks v1.0-prod hardening of one anchor repo.
Turnaround: 2 days
Board story: Free tools at /trust/ become buyer goodwill capital — they are useful before any commercial relationship exists.
Gap: Per-tool usage analytics not present — choosing which to deepen next is currently guesswork.
Turnaround: 1 days
Board story: A vendor seller-side stack is meta-evidence of seriousness — we ship what we ourselves use.
Gap: Subdomain SSL first-time-provisioning lag (auto-resolves in 24h); per-surface analytics not yet wired.
Turnaround: 7 days
Board story: KGE is the locked first product lane — every other portfolio piece points toward this.
Gap: Not on npm registry yet — README updated to disclose publish-pending state and provide github: install fallback; commercial launch blocked on EIN, bank, Stripe, invoice infrastructure.
