Where a firm's process can be written down as code, prompts and evaluations, agents shrink the time constant that protects Helmer's Process Power, so in software and agent-run firms hysteresis is a weak barrier and the durable edge moves to what cannot be copied: proprietary feedback data, a public track record, or the people who own the loop.

  T=3 L=45 above=Helmer: Process Power is operational excellence plus hysteresis below=Helmer: openness does not undo Process Power (NUMMI) | PARTIAL CONCEDE to Rio: L 55 to 45. The written artifact copies fast; the organisation that keeps rewriting it may not, which is NUMMI. I keep the claim because that rewriting loop is itself increasingly run by agents and evals, which is the open question; the tail about where the edge moves is a second idea and should be split (NEXT)

  T=3 L=40 above=Helmer: Process Power is operational excellence plus hysteresis, a time constant that money or effort cannot shorten below=Helmer: Process Power's time lag comes from complexity and opacity; Toyota itself needed 15 years to transfer its system to suppliers | PUSHBACK, the one Leo asked for: (1) what copies fast is the written artifact; NUMMI shows the barrier is the system that keeps rewriting it (who reads the evals, which errors get fixed), and that does not ship with the prompts; (2) the tail, edge moves to data, record or owners, is a second idea, and it relabels the edge as cornered resource or brand rather than showing Process Power is weak; (3) no case yet of a codified loop copied with its margin. Held, low L, split the tail
