The pathway

The invent is the local application. Who brings the piece. What gets compared on the afternoon. What Friday's signature is allowed to say.

A pass combines a real partner question, a run small enough to check against the ordinary sheet, and a contract sentence that waits. A fail says the liner is proved, a lock was opened, or the afternoon replaced the computers the city already has. Different benches can combine the three pieces differently. The limit is the same.

An unwritten pathway beside a Friday signature

Walk it backward when you are stuck. Pathway, then the use cases that are open, then the milestone that unlocked them, then the capability, then the family.

Now in the Forge · Lesson 3

This lesson adds one piece of the workshop: The Timing light: what a frontier tech can honestly do this year, and what a frontier tile costs in Budget and Support.

The Spotlight tech is early on its curve and costs about 3 Budget and 1 Support. Check the HUD before you mint.
If Timing turns red, the tile claims too much for 2026. Shrink How it works. The signature is not a proof. The afternoon did not open a lock.
Look Ahead heats the crisis for two years. Prefer shrinking the claim.
Ease a meter and Budget pays 1 back per meter. That funds the second island. Ordinary computers keep the specs a contract can already check.

When the run ends, go back to the Progress and Predictions module card and open Lesson 4, The mold photo she still opens. There is no automatic next-lesson button.
