Point
Cross-context benefit must be measured
The central product test is whether one identity with several perspective-specific contributions improves explanation, selection, and continuation on real tasks.

Beyond reusable portal generation, Atlas’s strongest semantic claim is that a durable Point can retain one identity while architecture, operations, product, governance, or another Map adds substantive local context. A reader or agent should gain a better explanation and a clearer next step because those contributions remain connected.
The study must isolate that benefit with tasks that require more than keyword retrieval. Results should show whether participants recognize provenance, current versus superseded direction, evidence roles, and relevant consequences across Maps. If those tasks gain nothing, the distributed record model is not earning its cost.
Product evidenceThe product claim is specifically whether cross-Map contributions improve explanation, selection, or continuation.
Learning agendaMeasured failure on those tasks should trigger simplification of identity or contribution semantics.
