 Dropout specifically generates $80-90M annual revenue with 1M+ subscribers, representing 18-21% of the total $430M creator-owned streaming market. This single-platform data point confirms the category-level aggregates and provides unit economics: $80-90 ARPU, 40-45% EBITDA margins, $3.0-3.3M revenue per employee.

 Dropout crossed 1M paid subscribers in October 2025 with 31% YoY growth, representing ARR 'north of $30M' at 40-45% EBITDA margins. This adds a major data point: single creator-owned platform now at $30M+ ARR with 40 employees (~$750K revenue per employee), confirming the commercial viability at scale.

 The CBO vs. ASPE divergence on Medicare GLP-1 coverage provides concrete evidence: CBO projects $35B in additional spending (2026-2034) using budget scoring methodology, while ASPE projects net savings of $715M over 10 years using clinical economics methodology that includes downstream event avoidance. The $35.7B gap between these estimates demonstrates how budget scoring rules structurally disadvantage preventive interventions. CBO uses conservative uptake assumptions and doesn't fully count avoided hospitalizations and disease progression within the 10-year window, while ASPE includes 38,950 CV events avoided and 6,180 deaths avoided. Both are technically correct but answer different questions—budget impact vs. clinical economics.

 IMPaCT's $2.47 Medicaid ROI within the same fiscal year demonstrates that at least one category of preventive intervention (CHW programs) generates returns fast enough to be captured within annual budget cycles, not just 10-year windows. This suggests the scoring methodology problem may be less severe for interventions with rapid return profiles.

CMS cited 'unprecedented' excess costs as justification, demonstrating how short-term cost accounting drives policy decisions even for preventive interventions with strong theoretical long-term ROI.

 Astrobotic's LunaGrid is the first commercial attempt to solve the lunar power constraint with a power-as-a-service model. LunaGrid-Lite will demonstrate 1 kW transmission over 500m of cable in 2026-2027, with full commissioning of a 10 kW VSAT system at the lunar south pole in 2028. The $34.6M NASA contract and Honda partnership for regenerative fuel cells (to survive 14-day lunar nights) confirms that power infrastructure is the critical path for sustained lunar operations.

+LunaGrid-Lite completed CDR in August 2025 and is fabricating flight hardware for a mid-2026 lunar deployment. The system will demonstrate 1 kW power transmission over 500m of cable. However, the scaling roadmap reveals a critical gap: 1 kW demo (2026) → 10 kW VSAT (2028) → 50 kW VSAT-XL (later). Commercial-scale He-3 extraction requires ~1.2 MW based on Interlune's excavator specs (100 tonnes/hour at 10x less power than 12 MW heat-based systems). This creates a 5-7 year gap between LunaGrid's demonstration capability and extraction-scale power requirements, making power availability a binding constraint on the 2029 pilot plant timeline unless supplemented by nuclear fission surface power.
