CLIFF · SPARK
SPK · VERSION 2.0 · FAHRENHEIT RESEARCH

Every founder reaches
the edge.

A persistent market where companies compound, capital is scarce,
and the only ending is the one you choose to take.

IOne company, one season. You cannot hedge across two.
IIShip anything, at any time. You cannot un-ship it.
IIIYour week splits three ways: build, maintain, serve.
IVAdoption is a purchase, not a vote. It costs the buyer every cycle.
VAny customer can cancel at any Market Open, and everyone sees it.
VIBurn is charged whether or not you are here.
VIIOnly outcomes earn Standing. Nothing buys it.
VIIIYou choose your ending. The market chooses it for you if you wait.

PART I · THE PREMISE

Who are you,
founder?

Your first run is weighted highest. Once word travels that CLIFF is watching, later runs measure learning rather than instinct.

CLIFF observes, never certifies. Every claim is linked to the decision that produced it.

PART II · THE WORLD

Build the company,
not the workshop.

A persistent world and a bounded session are not two settings of the same engine. You are building persistent first.

PART II · THE WORLD

Choose your
jurisdiction.

Five jurisdictions. Each has one signature lever and one signature cost. The UAE conditionality is a designed trap — a player who chases easy mainland revenue loses the rate that brought them there.

⚠
Flips are uncapped but expensive. The route India → UAE → Singapore → Delaware must be walkable in full, because founders walk it.

PART III · THE ECONOMY

Your company
is ready.

The world ticks whether or not you log in. Burn is charged at every Market Open whether or not you are present. Absence costs optionality, never the company.

MINT — Revenue (60%), Investment rounds (35%), Jurisdiction grants (5%)
↓
BURN — Daily OpEx (55–65%), Transaction friction (3%), Penalties
⟷
TRANSFER — P2P moves Spark without changing total supply
