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.

NIS 2 Directive (EU Network and Information Security)

EU directive (effective October 2024, member states transpose by October 2025). Replaces NIS (2016). Expands scope from 7 sectors to 15, covering: energy, transport, banking, financial market infrastructure, health, drinking water, wastewater, digital infrastructure, ICT service management, public administration, space, postal services, food, chemicals, manufacturing (critical products).

Key requirements: risk management measures (supply chain security, incident handling, business continuity), incident notification (24-hour early warning, 72-hour full report), C-level accountability (management can be held personally liable for non-compliance), supply chain security for critical vendors.

Who must comply: ~160,000 entities across EU (up from ~30,000 under NIS). Two tiers: essential (strict) and important (moderate). Extraterritorial — any organization providing services to EU entities in covered sectors.

Penalties: Up to 10M EUR or 2% of global turnover (essential entities). Personal liability for management.

Why it matters: NIS2 is the largest European cybersecurity mandate ever. Every requirement maps to a gate rule: supply chain access verification, incident notification triggers, business continuity approval chains. First-mover advantage is urgent — the transposition deadline is October 2025 (17 months). Organizations need gate packages now. No competitor has a declarative gate model that maps to NIS2 requirements. $50K/yr NIS2 gate package is a fast sell.
