 ## Competitive Position
 - **Unique mechanism**: Only launch platform with futarchy-governed accountability and treasury return guarantees
 - **vs pump.fun**: pump.fun is memecoin launch (zero accountability, pure speculation). Futardio is ownership coin launch (futarchy governance, treasury enforcement). Different categories despite both being "launch platforms."

 # Torch Market
 
-Torch Market is a DeFi protocol combining swap, lending, liquidation, and yield features in a single on-chain protocol designed for both human and AI agent users. The protocol is formally verified (48/48 Kani proof harnesses) and deployed on Solana devnet/mainnet. The project includes an SDK (torchsdk on npm with ~4K downloads via Clawhub agent skill), open-source repositories, and completed security audit.

-extraction_notes: "Torch Market fundraise launch. Created new entity for the protocol. No novel claims — this is a standard failed futarchy fundraise with no mechanism insights. The project has technical merit (formal verification, audit, SDK) but the fundraise failed immediately (refunding status after 1 day). Entity created because it meets significance threshold: real capital raise attempt, launched product, formal verification, and active developer ecosystem (4K Clawhub downloads)."
+extraction_notes: "Single failed fundraise launch. No novel claims about futarchy mechanisms or market dynamics. Entity extraction only - the project had technical completion (formal verification, audit, live product) but failed to attract capital through futarchy launch. Significance threshold met due to being a data point on futarchy-governed fundraise outcomes, but no arguable propositions beyond what existing claims already cover about futarchy adoption friction and launch dynamics."
