Why it lands for GForce specifically
Register idea 283-02: stand up 3, not 18 — one for transcript pulls, one for caption QA, one for
the register — and measure whether review time drops or rises. That experiment is directly downstream
of this page, and it points at the constraint the archive itself keeps hitting: judgement, not
execution. See the timeline 2026-08-27.
