## Current State

- Technical architecture documented and reviewed (3/3 Conditional Go, Aug 10, 2026)
- Mockup landing page live

## Key Risks (From Pipeline Review)

- Single-box architecture, no failover — addressed in architecture review
- Prompt injection (tool-enabled Research Agent) — defense depth planned
- Accuracy engine gated behind inconclusive-dominated data — Phase 1 spike needed
- Liability asymmetry (GO verdicts > NO-GO exposure)
- Alignment drift (models becoming less critical over time)
- SEO desert from rebrand (mitigation: 301 redirects, content marketing)
