martbost 6a7c5161ff Give the top of the ladder a real prize: Team Grants + Network Intelligence
Marty's read was right — the upper tiers felt flat, and the reason is that
they scaled QUANTITY, not KIND. L1->L2 was a category change (you couldn't
write, now you can). Everything above L4 was a multiplier on a capability
already owned at L2: sound more like you, measure it, more pages, five at
once. Meanwhile the price doubles each rung — Corona costs ~17x Culmen. No
batch button is worth 17x a voice profile.

The fix is a change of axis. Every tool from L1 to L8 was a "me" tool, but
past the first levels this business isn't about you: get two, help your two,
teach them to teach. So the top now operates on the ORGANISATION.

L7 Team Grants — hand Suite capacity down to anyone in your own org.
Deliberately from a separate pool that the level grants, NOT out of the
leader's own allowance: making someone choose between equipping their team
and using their own tools means nobody ever grants anything. Recipients are
verified in-org against the contract. Grants can lift a tool the recipient's
level hasn't unlocked — that's the point, not a loophole. Being helped is
made visible to the recipient, since half the value is knowing an upline
backed you.

L8 Network Intelligence — every team ad pooled and anonymised: which angles,
headlines, creative and formats actually earn their impressions. No member
alone has enough traffic to learn anything from display; together they do.
It can't be bought, and it compounds monthly with no further work. Holds two
lines: nothing identifies anyone, and nothing under 2,000 impressions gets a
reported rate — under-evidenced rows are counted and disclosed rather than
silently dropped. The written readout is hand-authored, not generated:
these are conclusions about money, and a model paraphrasing a table is
exactly where an invented number slips in.

// Circle Suite — Traffic Desk. Places member banner ads on the team's own
// NetworkAdSpace network through the signed bridge API (rmc-api on that host).
//
// Two deliberate constraints:
// 1. Creative comes from the TEAM banner kit only. Members never upload art.
// That removes moderation risk entirely — every ad on the network carries
// approved branding — and it means a member can launch in two clicks.
// 2. Allowances scale with contract level and are counted per calendar month
// against a local ledger, so a member cannot spend more than their level.
