Loadout
Purpose-built infrastructure for the case made in "The Retrofit Tax."
Summary
Loadout is the venture under pitch this June. The thesis is the one published in "The Retrofit Tax". That the financial systems we keep bolting AI onto were never designed for it, and the engineering and political cost of pretending otherwise compounds quietly until it doesn't. Loadout is the case for building the new system rather than retrofitting the old one. Public framing locks after the pitch.
Why it matters
If the Retrofit Tax thesis is right, then the next decade of financial-infrastructure investment goes to the purpose-built layer. Loadout is the operating bet on that thesis.
What was noteworthy
More to come post-pitch. For now, the essay does the talking.
