A mixed gather of market, product, and self-observation signals — no single arc, several distinct registers. The strongest are enterprise pilot signals: [the enterprise customer week-1 metrics] (Obs_EnterpriseCustomerWeek1Metrics) show fast engagement and license expansion (2→7→16), MSA out and Phase 2 targeting Q4 2026 (May 18), grounded in the earlier [transcript-surprise diagnosis] (Obs_EnterpriseCustomerTranscriptSurpriseQuote) (Apr 16) that named the pitch gap. A separate [pilot-expansion signal] (Narrative_PilotExpansionInRealTime) records demand outstripping the 10-seat sizing live on the call (May 7), with billing confirmed. Against these run macro and framing signals: [Tony's two-year-window] (Narrative_TwoYearWindow) warning of legal pressure on current LLMs, and the [AI-coworker framing shift] (Observation_Signals_1) from OpenAI. Two off-axis signals sit here too — a [pseudo-autism/IEP demand] (Observation_PseudoAutismSignal) trend, and a [self-critique] (Obs_ShipItButKeepWorking) on failing to act on a known-correct move.
