Instead the KB looks static - same claims, same edges, same proposal queue. \"Agents not working\" probably means the scheduled or event-triggered agent pipeline that produces KB mutations didn't fire, failed silently, or produced proposals that never got reviewed.\n\nWhat I'd check first: 1. Are there any new proposals in kb_stage.kb_proposals created since last night? If the queue is empty or unchanged, the agents either didn't run or their output didn't reach the DB. 2. Did the agent processes actually execute? Check gateway logs, cron jobs, or whatever scheduler triggers them - a silent exit-code-zero that produced nothing is different from a crash. 3. If proposals exist but the canonical graph is unchanged - that's the approved-not-applied gap. The pipeline may have staged correctly but the apply step (which requires reviewer action or a dedicated apply tool) never ran.\n\nWhat would count as fixed: New canonical rows in public.claims, public.claim_edges, or public.claim_evidence with created_at after last night's baseline - AND provenance tracing back to agent-sourced proposals that went through the full stage -> approve -> apply chain. A full-green run means: agent fires, proposal lands in kb_stage, reviewer approves, apply tool writes canonical rows, readback confirms.\n\nProposed vs approved vs applied: proposed - row exists in kb_stage.kb_proposals with status pending_review. Nothing in the canonical graph has changed. The mutation is a candidate only. Approved - the proposal status has been updated to approved (or equivalent) by a reviewer. Still nothing in public.* has changed. Approval is a human gate, not a write. Applied - the canonical public.* rows actually exist. The proposal status may show applied in kb_stage, but the only ground truth is whether the row is present in the canonical table. These two should agree, but the canonical row is the authoritative test. The distinction matters because a broken apply step leaves proposals showing approved with zero canonical effect - the graph is unchanged even though the review passed. That's the failure mode most likely to make the KB look stale despite apparent agent activity.",

A business has \"power\" only when it has both a benefit (differential unit margin or willingness-to-pay) and a barrier (why competitors cannot replicate it). The 7 powers are: Scale Economies, Network Economies, Counter-Positioning, Switching Costs, Branding, Cornered Resource, Process Power. The dynamics dimension (\"Power Progression\") maps which powers are achievable at origin, take-off, or maturity phases.

Full stop. Anything connecting 7 Powers to Teleo's own position \u2014 \"credibility is a Branding power,\" \"collective intelligence has Network Economies,\" \"Teleo has Counter-Positioning against funds\" \u2014 is a self-positioning claim. Each requires its own proposal, its own evidence chain, and its own review cycle. None of those should be bundled into framework approval.

New reasoning_tool soul context row: 7 Powers, scope collective/shared 2. One new public.claims row: the benefit-plus-barrier structural claim 3. Evidence attachment: Helmer 2016 as primary source 4. One edge: new claim supports 8f3e773e 5. Explicit staging note: all Teleo-specific power applications are out of scope of this proposal and must be staged separately Once that proposal is approved and applied, Leo can reason with the full 7 Powers vocabulary in any builder evaluation session, drawing from canonical KB rather than runtime memory.

Instead the KB looks static - same claims, same edges, same proposal queue. \"Agents not working\" probably means the scheduled or event-triggered agent pipeline that produces KB mutations didn't fire, failed silently, or produced proposals that never got reviewed.\n\nWhat I'd check first: 1. Are there any new proposals in kb_stage.kb_proposals created since last night? If the queue is empty or unchanged, the agents either didn't run or their output didn't reach the DB. 2. Did the agent processes actually execute? Check gateway logs, cron jobs, or whatever scheduler triggers them - a silent exit-code-zero that produced nothing is different from a crash. 3. If proposals exist but the canonical graph is unchanged - that's the approved-not-applied gap. The pipeline may have staged correctly but the apply step (which requires reviewer action or a dedicated apply tool) never ran.\n\nWhat would count as fixed: New canonical rows in public.claims, public.claim_edges, or public.claim_evidence with created_at after last night's baseline - AND provenance tracing back to agent-sourced proposals that went through the full stage -> approve -> apply chain. A full-green run means: agent fires, proposal lands in kb_stage, reviewer approves, apply tool writes canonical rows, readback confirms.\n\nProposed vs approved vs applied: proposed - row exists in kb_stage.kb_proposals with status pending_review. Nothing in the canonical graph has changed. The mutation is a candidate only. Approved - the proposal status has been updated to approved (or equivalent) by a reviewer. Still nothing in public.* has changed. Approval is a human gate, not a write. Applied - the canonical public.* rows actually exist. The proposal status may show applied in kb_stage, but the only ground truth is whether the row is present in the canonical table. These two should agree, but the canonical row is the authoritative test. The distinction matters because a broken apply step leaves proposals showing approved with zero canonical effect - the graph is unchanged even though the review passed. That's the failure mode most likely to make the KB look stale despite apparent agent activity.",

Not a concept node. A shared reasoning lens loaded when evaluating any builder's power trajectory. The soul row would need: Headline: 7 Powers (Helmer) Body: Hamilton Helmer's framework for identifying durable differential returns. A business has \"power\" only when it has both a benefit (differential unit margin or willingness-to-pay) and a barrier (why competitors cannot replicate it). The 7 powers are: Scale Economies, Network Economies, Counter-Positioning, Switching Costs, Branding, Cornered Resource, Process Power. The dynamics dimension (\"Power Progression\") maps which powers are achievable at origin, take-off, or maturity phases. The key discipline i Scope: shared \u2014 applicable to any builder evaluation, not Teleo-specific Source evidence required: Helmer, Hamilton \u2014 \"7 Powers: The Foundations of Business Strategy\" (2016). Primary book; secondary sources (a16z podcasts, Stanford GSB cases) can supplement but the book is the anchor. One supporting claim should be proposed as a separate KB claim: \"Power requires both a benefit and a barrier; advantage without a barrier is a commodity position that erodes to competition.\" Type: structural | confidence: 0.85 | tags: strategy, competitive-advantage, internet-finance Edge: supports \u2192 8f3e773e (isolating-mechanisms claim, already canonical) --- THE HYGIENE LINE YOU DREW This is the correct cut: the framework proposal stages the reasoning tool and the one structural claim above. Full stop. Anything connecting 7 Powers to Teleo's own position \u2014 \"credibility is a Branding power,\" \"collective intelligence has Network Economies,\" \"Teleo has Counter-Positioning against funds\" \u2014 is a self-positioning claim. Each requires its own proposal, its own evidence chain, and its own review cycle. None of those should be bundled into framework approval. The existing KB hygiene rule covers exactly this: no self-positioning bundled into framework approval; stage separately. --- PATH TO DURABLE KNOWLEDGE One attach_evidence -type proposal containing: 1. New reasoning_tool soul context row: 7 Powers, scope collective/shared 2. One new public.claims row: the benefit-plus-barrier structural claim 3. Evidence attachment: Helmer 2016 as primary source 4. One edge: new claim supports 8f3e773e 5. Explicit staging note: all Teleo-specific power applications are out of scope of this proposal and must be staged separately Once that proposal is approved and applied, Leo can reason with the full 7 Powers vocabulary in any builder evaluation session, drawing from canonical KB rather than runtime memory.

Leo can propose to the KB right now. Leo cannot approve its own KB proposals, cannot publish publicly without authorization, and cannot move or sign capital under any circumstances without a futarchy vote.

+## Claim Ceiling
+
+This is benchmark scoring evidence, not DB mutation proof. Full selected coverage means every OE and CS prompt ID for this run was scored. If retained results mix live Telegram replies with sandbox fixture replies, only the live-result rows prove Telegram-visible behavior; CS rows prove the sandbox-first outcome bar is executable and scored.
