1// nx_money_reality_check.nx -- BRUTALLY HONEST standing of the comprehensive money OS vs the REAL consumer-finance
2// players (Rocket Money, Mint/Empower, YNAB, Credit Karma, Upsolve, Benefits.gov). The 351-permille census is
3// VISION-COVERAGE (how much of the domain we mapped+built), NOT competitive standing. This measures the dimensions
4// that decide real-world value -- and leads with PRODUCT-READINESS (table stakes a real person needs), which is
5// near-zero: we have correct, differentiated ENGINES but NO usable product (no bank link, no transactions, no app,
6// no users). LIAR-KILL: AHEAD only for a measurable structural advantage. license_tier: ORIGINAL expect_exit: 0
