how a breakdown is made
research and unstructure
Start messy. Pull primary sources, community debugging trails, filings, docs, and counterclaims.
collect(raw_sources) → contradictions[]
extract the mechanism
Reduce the event into a causal chain: what changed, why it broke, who benefits, what tradeoff exists.
model(cause, incentive, consequence)
publish the map
Turn the chain into a thread or note with source links, clear claims, and enough detail to inspect.
