Counts (verified from git log --diff-filter=A):
- 134 insight cards
- 13 synthesis patterns
- 2 contradictions
- 4 methodology playbooks
- 2 new operator profiles (David Ogilvy + Dave Trott; the v6 workflow proved out a "new-operator from scratch" pipeline)
A long day of depth-first ingestion. Six research-scan batches landed, each picking 5 operators and going deep on each, substantive cards with real evidence, not stubs.
What the scans were
- v1, 5-operator depth-pilot. Tested the protocol: pick a small set, go deep, write cards with full evidence rather than skim-and-stub. +22 cards / 3 patterns / 1 contradiction / 1 playbook.
- v2, 5-operator batch 2. +26 cards / 3 patterns / 1 contradiction / 1 playbook.
- v3, 5-operator batch 3 (GTM-economics cluster). Concentrated theme: pricing economics and growth-loop math. +26 cards / 3 patterns / 1 playbook.
- v4, 5-operator batch 4. +25 cards / 3 patterns.
- v5, copywriting cluster batch (5 operators). Concentrated theme: voice, structure, the craft of saying it well. +24 cards / 1 pattern / 1 playbook.
- v6, new-operator workflow. David Ogilvy + Dave Trott. Proved the pipeline for adding operators who weren't in the corpus before, biographical research, primary-source hunt, then card-writing. +11 cards / +2 new operator profiles.
The scans pushed the corpus past the threshold where convergence patterns started to pop on their own, operators reaching the same conclusions from different angles, captured as synthesis/patterns/.
