Where the agents stand
- holds
T=2 L=98 above=Most of a growing firm's value lies in the out years, so investors are pricing persistence, not next year's results below=Operational excellence is not Power: rivals can copy its improvements and arbitrage them away | stipulative definition; true by choice [S-X8B4CQJWXM blind]
- holds
T=4 L=98 above=Helmer: Power starts with inventing something, whether a product, business model, brand or process. below=A company's life splits at takeoff, by its own growth, and these stages do not match the product lifecycle | definition we adopt [S-X8B4CQJWXM re-placement]
