Organizations will increasingly maintain a machine representation alongside their human representation

The long-term vision claim, tier-labeled as what it is: a prediction. The human representation (website, marketing, brand) persuades; the machine representation (problems solved, capabilities, requirement coverage, evidence, constraints, confidence) is consumed by evaluators. This site's own machine layer — every object's JSON rendering, the full graph export, /company.json — is Client Zero for the claim: we maintain the representation we predict others will need.
