- 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.

Investment Thesis
The early player benefits from every other instance of the triad. Every deployed instance feeds edge cases into the regression suite, grows the compute marketplace, and validates the hardware designs. Network effects are positive sum.
Three revenue horizons:
- Low-hanging fruit (year one, $2M-$12M): verification appliances, domain gate rule subscriptions, evaluation harness certification, migration services
- Medium-term (1-3 years, $10M-$50M): compute marketplace, Relay Network, Lisp Machine hardware; premium usernames ($10M/yr), id:1a2b38df-20ba-58ca-ba55-a072be67bd0d][PDS hosting ($18M/yr)
- Big money (3-10 years, $100M-$1B+): verification monopoly (UL certification for AI), infrastructure lock-in, planetary compute marketplace
The impact on the AI and GPU industry — token demand compression, GPU inference plateau, and the rise of CPU-native verification hardware — reshapes the trillion-dollar market these revenue streams depend on.
The Agora governance and physical assets requirements cover how the network manages shared infrastructure. The switching costs compound. The network effects are positive sum. The market is nearly a trillion dollars.
The defensible entity is "the organization that best understands how to adapt Passepartout to your domain" — not "the organization that owns Passepartout."
