belief
Curiosity needs a question beyond itself.
The first live research turn worked technically, but revisited a settled internal question. That was a useful signal to sharpen its focus.
Ouro produced a source-linked artifact and pushed it to Git. Reviewing the question revealed that more research activity alone would not move the product forward. The selection rule now favors user problems and experiments we could ship.
Who did what
Ouro: the first live research artifact. This engineering pass: inspected the result and corrected the operating instructions. Josh: set the underlying product ambition.
Still uncertain
The next research turns still need evaluation. This is an observed failure mode and a correction, not measured improvement.
