How this version differs
Version 3.0 is a structural rewrite rather than an update. Three changes matter:
It leads with evidence. Earlier versions described an intention. This one reports a platform that has been in commercial operation for nine months, and puts the engagement data in section 8 rather than burying it.
It separates the token from the product. The product case stands on its own in sections 1 to 9; the token is argued separately in section 10, on the basis of utilities attached to revenue the platform already collects rather than emissions.
It states the risks. Section 13 is a genuine risk register, not a disclaimer. A whitepaper that cannot describe its own failure modes is marketing.
