5 / 5
Produced useful evidence-bounded transition records.
Gate 0 closed · evidence record
The first thesis failed.
Monopolises tested whether a single strategic Replacement Horizon could be reconstructed reproducibly from public primary evidence across five fixed cases. It could not.
Evidence before category means stopping when the metric does not survive.
MON-G0-RH closed — FAIL
What was tested
Power is the time it takes to replace you.
This was the v0.1 proposition. It remains part of the research record, but Gate 0 did not validate Replacement Horizon as the primary scalable measurement.

Fixed-set result
0 / 5
Produced a canonical strategic Replacement Horizon without unresolved methodological choice.
No rescue case
The fixed set was closed without adding a sixth case.
Governance outcome
The failure is retained, not rewritten.
The case records remain valid research artifacts. Their recurring distinctions are findings, not a successor category.
No global replacement graph, scores, rankings, or scaled entity pages are authorized by the failed Gate.
