The Question
How should an automated system decide whether a technically possible transaction is economically worthwhile, and how can its result be independently verified?
The Approach
Exploratory work considered on-chain events, decision windows, simulation, transaction finality, network costs and failure handling. A working scanner, a submitted transaction and a profitable outcome are distinct claims.
Evidence Boundary
Execution profitability, recovered costs, return on capital and customer demand are not demonstrated by code or architecture alone. Any future public numerical claims require independently reproducible receipts, the relevant period and complete cost attribution.
The Lesson
A system that does more is not necessarily a system that creates more value. Economic outcomes require settlement, usable fulfillment and cost-complete accounting.
