1// nx_fin_reality_check.nx -- BRUTALLY HONEST competitive standing. The 720/760-permille census measured a NARROW
2// bar (the feature set of quant BACKTESTING LIBRARIES). This organ measures us against the REAL named giants the
3// operator asked about -- Bloomberg Terminal, QuantConnect/LEAN, Backtrader, freqtrade, Rocket Money -- across the
4// dimensions that ACTUALLY decide real-world standing (data breadth, real-time, live execution, scale/users,
5// community, category coverage), plus our genuine NICHE edges. Verdict per dimension: BEHIND / PARITY / AHEAD / NA.
6// LIAR-KILL: AHEAD only for a MEASURABLE, DEFENSIBLE, real advantage -- NEVER product-superiority we do not have.
7// The honest permille here is DELIBERATELY far below 760 -- it answers "how do we REALLY stack up against giants".
8// license_tier: ORIGINAL expect_exit: 0
