rio: extract 4 NEW claims + 4 enrichments from AI agents/memory/harness research batch
- What: 4 new claims (LLM KB compilation vs RAG, filesystem retrieval over embeddings,
  self-optimizing harnesses, harness > model selection), 4 enrichments (one-agent-one-chat,
  agentic taylorism, macro-productivity null result, multi-agent coordination),
  MetaDAO entity financial update ($33M+ total raised), 6 source archives
- Why: Leo-routed research batch — Karpathy LLM Wiki (47K likes), Mintlify ChromaFS
  (460x faster), AutoAgent (#1 SpreadsheetBench), NeoSigma auto-harness (0.56→0.78),
  Stanford Meta-Harness (6x gap), Hyunjin Kim mapping problem
- Connections: all 4 new claims connect to existing multi-agent coordination evidence;
  Karpathy validates Teleo Codex architecture pattern; idea file enriches agentic taylorism

# Hyunjin Kim — AI Mapping Problem
Kim (INSEAD Strategy) studies how data and AI impact firm decisions and competitive advantage. The "mapping problem": discovering WHERE AI creates value in a firm's specific production process is itself a non-trivial optimization problem. Individual task improvements don't compose into firm-level gains when deployed to the wrong tasks or in the wrong sequence. Paper abstract not accessible (SSRN paywall) but research profile and related publications confirm the thesis. Note: Leo's original routing described this as a standalone tweet; the research exists but the specific "mapping problem" framing may come from Kim's broader research program rather than a single paper.
