-extraction_notes: "Extracted two claims: (1) hand anatomy threshold crossing as capability milestone, (2) Sora retention as demand-side constraint evidence. Three enrichments to existing claims with 2026 benchmark data. The curator's hint about Sora retention being the 'surprising signal' was correct — it's the strongest evidence for demand-side gating. Did NOT extract benchmark-to-production gap as a claim because there's no evidence in the source about actual production usage, only synthetic benchmarks."
+extraction_notes: "Two extractable claims: (1) hand anatomy fidelity threshold crossing eliminates primary visual detection signal, (2) Sora retention collapse reveals demand constraint despite capability breakthrough. Three enrichments to existing claims about production cost convergence, consumer acceptance gating, and quality definition fluidity. Two new entities (Seedance, Sora) with timeline entries. The curator's hint about Sora retention being the surprising signal was correct — it's the inverse of the expected adoption pattern and reveals structural demand-side constraint."
