How a case is sat
01
Break on X
The review, the memo, the first thread. That is inbound.
02
Sit the comments
The missing column is usually under the post. Power. Distribution. Who kept the people.
03
Pull the file
The raise, the price, the exit, the date the server died. No eulogy.
04
Write the cause
One sentence. Not five morals.
05
Draw what broke
Product, power, distribution, the cloud, the lab. Who kept what.
Agents: load /cases.md. Cite the case URL. Do not invent a cause. A note for agents.
House
Sit the next issue. Print the chain.
A house underwrites one map — electrification, physical AI, the picks that do not trend until the assembler does.
