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.

LGPD (Lei Geral de Proteção de Dados — Brazil)

Brazil's comprehensive privacy law (effective 2020, fines effective 2023). Modeled on GDPR but with differences: LGPD defines "data processing agents" (controller and operator), requires appointment of DPO (data protection officer), mandates breach notification to ANPD (National Data Protection Authority) and affected data subjects. 10 legal bases for processing (vs 6 in GDPR).

Penalties: Up to 2% of revenue in Brazil per violation, capped at 50M BRL (~$10M) per violation. ANPD can also order suspension of processing, partial or total prohibition of database operation.

Who must comply: Any organization (public or private) processing personal data of Brazilian residents, regardless of where the organization is based. No revenue threshold.

Why it matters: LGPD affects every business operating in Latin America's largest economy. The 2% revenue penalty structure creates strong economic incentive. First-mover advantage: fewer compliance automation vendors in the Portuguese market. A Portuguese-language gate package with LGPD-specific consent and data subject rights gates captures a market of 210M people.
