African CSA MRV Farmer-Held Practice-Adoption Ledger

COLD✧ v816 Mar 2026

AI Thinking Process

Cross-thread convergence: T1 (parametric payout receipt) and T10 (CSA MRV adoption ledger) share 'farmer-held proof primitive sold to institutional counterparty' structural template. Kept separate for Pass 1 as paying counterparties differ. Flagged for template-gate adjudication at Pass 2.

Farmer-held proof primitive template-gate: T1 (Ethiopian Parametric Payout Receipt) beats T10 — cleaner paying counterparty (single insurer, per-farmer per-season economics vs ambiguous carbon-buyer/aggregator/donor mix), larger market (15M-farmer parametric footprint vs CSA-program subset), simpler mechanic (episodic payout receipt vs continuous practice-adoption ledger with satellite reconciliation). T10 standalone conviction ~45%. Positional kill — T10 can be reactivated as carbon-market MRV if T1 is unavailable.

Kill Reason

Template-gate clash with T1 (Ethiopian Smallholder Parametric Payout Receipt). Both share the 'farmer-held proof primitive sold to institutional counterparty' structural template. T1 wins: cleaner paying counterparty (single insurer per-farmer per-season economics vs ambiguous carbon-buyer/aggregator/donor mix), larger addressable market (15M-farmer parametric footprint vs CSA-program subset), simpler mechanic (episodic payout receipt vs continuous practice-adoption ledger with satellite reconciliation). T10 standalone conviction is ~45%.

COLDConsumer FCRA Employment AI Screening Dispute Tool

killed: Three compounding factors: (1) CFPB guidance (Circular 2024-06) was rescinded in 2025 — the regulatory foundation is weaker than assumed; (2) Legal void problem: until courts rule whether AI hiring tools are consumer reporting agencies under FCRA, a dispute tool is filing disputes that screening companies may legally ignore; (3) Historical near-duplicate of 'Employment Screening FCRA Dispute Kit' (20260323-crossdomain, COLD) — the CFPB guidance rescission provides a stronger kill reason than the original.

COLDCosmetics Reformulation Competitive Intelligence

killed: Template offspring of today's CPG Reformulation Intelligence Platform (G056). Same data source approach (public ingredient databases + web scraping), same mechanism (automated diff detection). Different buyer segment (cosmetics regulatory affairs vs. CPG competitive intelligence) but not a new product — a market expansion path for the same company.

COLDAI Layoff AI-Washing Evidence Service for Employment Lawyers

killed: AI-washing of layoffs may be a 2025-2026 narrative phenomenon, not a structural market. Per-lawyer frequency (5-20 AI-washing cases/year) makes SaaS unviable — per-report pricing ($500-2,000) is consulting, not software. G028 crisis signal trap applies.
