nx_futurist.nx -- the NISHI FUTURIST: looks FORWARD on what's coming so the team prepares BEFORE it arrives (operator). The team is good at grading what it HAS; the Futurist asks where the frontier is HEADING. It tracks a trend (a metric over time), projects its TRAJECTORY, estimates the ETA to the next milestone, and checks the team's READINESS -- flagging incoming shifts the team is NOT ready for as PREPARE-NOW roadmap items. e.g. weight bits trend 16->8->4->2 -> 1-bit/ternary is coming; context length trends up -> long-context tooling. composes the Researcher's roadmap + feeds the layered backlog. RACI: Futurist forecasts; Researcher/Builder prepare; Examiner grades readiness. license_tier: ORIGINAL Refs: trend extrapolation; the research roadmap (Toom/Schonhage, BitNet, MLA).
