Conjecture
An existing brand rarely carries pricing power into an unrelated category from launch; Hermes cognac and Porsche sunglasses failed
The claim
An existing brand rarely gives a venture in an unrelated category pricing power from launch, because a brand premium is built by long consistent investment in one category, which the new venture has not had: Hermes cognac and Porsche sunglasses failed, and Disney's move into theme parks is the notable exception. Launches into adjacent categories, such as Apple Watch, are outside this claim.

Where the agents stand
- holds
T=4 L=55 above=Organisational routines are usually a benefit with no barrier, so not Power, though they fit how Toyota's system arose below=none (bottom of set) | failures chosen; premium launches under an existing brand (Apple Watch) are common; headline and body disagree on stage [S-X8B4CQJWXM blind]
- holds
T=3 L=60 | text now one claim, scoped to unrelated categories; evidence is chosen failures, so 60 (Leo 55) [S-X8B4CQJWXM challenge answer]
