Timeline

  1. Oct 5

    Charge + pre-build council

    Council mostly restated the Charge's safeguards; two findings kept, two proposed gates rejected by Zeb

  2. Oct 5

    Phase 1 research

    Market, legal and overcharge-class tracks in parallel; each claim labeled verified/inferred

  3. Oct 5

    KILLED

    Below-minimum segment yields ~$90–$900 fee per 180-day window; input quality also degrades downmarket
