Hermes cc3976fb7f ideas: editorial sweep — atomization, interlinking, restructuring
- Split competitive-analysis-2026-05.org → TOC + 9 competitor files in
  ideas/competitors/. Dropped date from filename. All competitor UUIDs
  generated, TOC keeps original UUID for backlink continuity.
- Deleted passepartout-economics.org archive (replaced by 27-node KB).
- Inlined 5 'See also' blocks into natural prose (compliance-index,
  first-mover-window, revenue-table, orders-of-magnitude-time,
  native-org-knowledge-base).
- Linked 7 orphan compliance pages back to compliance index + finished
  truncated sentences.
- Linked all 14 Agora requirement docs from topic-relevant pages
  (identity→lisp-machine-security, infrastructure→compute-marketplace,
  social-space→growth-strategy, exchange→agora-contracts, etc.).
- Linked ai-industry-impact from investment-thesis, sufficiency-flip,
  verification-appliance, effects-growth-flywheel (up from 1 to 10+ pages).
- Fixed CREATED timestamps to use git commit dates instead of today.
- Made all links absolute from root (no port inheritance).
- Removed stale agora/docs/ duplicate content.

IFC Performance Standards (Environmental and Social Sustainability)

Who must comply: IFC investees and clients; any project finance deal under the Equator Principles.

Why it matters: The Equator Principles affect $100B+/yr in project finance. Compliance verification is done by external consultants. The gate stack can automate the evidence collection and provide verifiable proof that each PS requirement has been met before financial close. First-mover advantage: no vendor serves this market with automation — it is entirely consultant-delivered.

IFRS (International Financial Reporting Standards)

International accounting standards (IFRS Foundation, 166 jurisdictions). IFRS 17 (insurance contracts, effective 2023) and IFRS 9 (financial instruments) are the most rule-complex — requiring actuarial models, expected credit loss calculations, and contract classification algorithms.

Who must comply: Publicly listed companies in 166 jurisdictions including the EU, UK, Japan, Australia, Canada (2024), Brazil, India, South Korea, and most of Asia. IFRS 17 alone affects 5K+ insurers with complex actuarial compliance requirements that no automated verification solution currently addresses.
