Core thesis
Paradigm alignment can identify structural opportunity while a separate valuation context layer tests whether the market has already priced that alignment.
Why it matters
What the reader should carry forward.
- It creates a common language for comparing companies, protocols, networks, and infrastructure layers.
- It keeps structural alignment separate from valuation burden while clarifying when DCF becomes useful.
- It adds standardized report numbering and database fields for a living PAR research library.
Inversion
Where the argument can fail.
- Scoring can look precise while the evidence underneath remains weak.
- A paradigm can be real while the selected asset captures little durable value.
- Strong adoption signals can be overwhelmed by regulation, competition, execution failure, or capital structure.
