Second month of research capacity for Critical Insights and opportunity maps.

Investment thesis

Your contribution funds research & intelligence analyst — month ii ($7,500 / month) — Second month of research capacity for Critical Insights and opportunity maps. Deliverables include 30 days research capacity and Insight backlog burn-down.

Second analyst month closes the gap between production output and intelligence products — synthesis capacity must match archive growth or insight rots in transcripts.
