Evidence-first ranking · derived blind, then adjudicated
Ranked by evidence.
No torpedo yet.
Every claim carries its grade. Every ranking publishes the condition that would flip it. And the board now has three rings—including one for what the data cannot see.
A torpedo, in this fleet's vocabulary: a decisive, launch-ready revenue strike—every gate cleared, ready to fire. Nothing on this board has earned the name yet. The title says so on purpose.
01 · Two axes
Evidence is not upside
Five ranked candidates, placed by documentary signal and potential asymmetry. Marker state shows how each one knows what it claims to know. Position never indicates launch readiness.
How to read it: further right = stronger real-world evidence; higher = bigger possible prize. Top-right—strong evidence and big upside—is where decisions get made; nothing has reached it yet. Corner labels name each region's failure or proof mode: "story risk" is a big prize on thin evidence, "operational proof" is solid evidence on a modest prize.

02 · How this ranking was made
Troops before ghosts
The method is deliberately boring: thresholds before data, grades per claim, and a published condition under which each ranking flips. This is the condensed version a non-analyst can hold.
L0Synthetic / desk
Model reasoning, public sources, analogies. Not zero, never sufficient alone.
L1Company-reported
Decks and dashboards—what MN says about itself. Unaudited.
L2Measured · working tier
Reproduced in the warehouse at known grain; queries logged and hashed.
L3Reconciled
Matches an external ground truth: processor export, finance statement, bank.
L4Owner-validated
The human who owns the system confirms the semantics mean what we think.
"Troops" are L2–L4. "Ghosts" are L0–L1 standing alone. Within a level, an A–D grade scores quality—assigned per load-bearing claim, never averaged per candidate, because averaging is how fake confidence gets manufactured.
The same two axes, one level down
Every claim, placed
How to read it: the board at the top places five candidates. This places every claim those candidates stand on—one dot per claim, drawn straight from the graded lists further down this page. Same grammar as the map: further right = evidence from further inside the real world; higher = better established inside that level. Top-right is decision-grade.
What it shows: the two right-hand columns are empty. No claim on this board has been reconciled against an external ground truth, and none has been confirmed by the person who owns the system—which is the whole argument of the title. The board lives in one column.

ABCD
L0L1L2L3L4
05Crypto wedge0Hover / focus a dot → the claim. Activate → its candidate.
Why two axes and not one: quality without level is a well-argued guess; level without quality is sloppy measurement. A grade never promotes a claim across the ghost line—an L0-A is still a ghost, and the most dangerous kind, because it argues well. Read vertically and a candidate is a cloud, not a point: the same lane holds measured cores and open gates at once. That is why grades are assigned per claim and never averaged into one.
Thresholds before data
Before touching an area: "we proceed if [measurable condition]; drop if [condition]; park only on a named external blocker." Written before the evidence is read, logged if rewritten.
Only verdict-flipping detail
A detail earns investigation only if some plausible value of it can flip the proceed/drop verdict. Everything else gets one line in the log.
The proceed bar
Proceeding requires measured numbers (≥L2) plus owner-confirmed semantics (L4). A drop can happen at any tier the moment a kill condition is met—cheap kills are wins.
Flip conditions, published
Every ranking on this page states the evidence that would change it. A board that can't say what would move it isn't a ranking; it's a mood.

Payment Recovery rescuing failed subscription payments
Core L2-A measuredOpen gate recoverable share L0-CSemantics L4 absent
Half of July's Stripe renewal invoices failed on first attempt. The failure is measured, persistent and concentrated—what remains unmeasured is exactly how much of it is recoverable.
In plain words
Subscriptions renew by charging the customer's card automatically. In July, half of those charges failed on the first try. Some failures are customers who chose to leave—nothing to rescue there. Many are cards that just didn't work that day: no balance, expired, a prepaid card that ran dry. Recovery means winning back that second group—for example, a card that declines for insufficient funds on the 1st usually has balance again mid-month, so a retry timed to payday keeps the customer without them lifting a finger. What nobody has measured yet: how much of MN's failed pool is rescuable rather than customers who meant to quit. Measuring exactly that is this lane's next step.
July's still-unpaid renewal invoices—Stripe-only, before voluntary correction. This sizes the problem, not the prize. And Stripe is only 38% of July gross ($87.9k of $230.3k); the other gateways are blindspot row 1.
canonical recurring failure, H2-2025 into 2026; mature recovery runs 15.0–19.5% on settled cohorts. insufficient_funds is the largest addressable pool; prepaid and debit cards carry most first failures.

Retention Economics (pricing × churn)
Level L2-B measuredCause L0-C ungradedNext pass in-warehouse now
Revenue doubled in 24 months on price, not volume—and first-renewal retention on recent monthly cohorts now sits materially below the external corridor. The level is measured. The cause is deliberately not yet claimed.
In plain words
MN doubled revenue by charging more, not by winning more customers. The open question is what that did to loyalty: of the people who start a monthly plan now, only about one in three pays a second month—against an industry norm above one in two, and below MN's own 2024 customers. Two suspects, deliberately kept apart: the higher prices, or a shift in who's buying (more customers from countries and app stores where everyone quits sooner). One warehouse query can tell the suspects apart—and the answer changes the move. If price did it, the finding is "stop raising." If the customer mix did it, the price rises were free money and the leak is elsewhere.
Average ticket $10.52 → $18.19 across the tier repack; purchase count nearly flat. The doubling was a pricing event—which proves the lever can move revenue at 2× scale.
on recent monthly cohorts, against a 53–61% external median (RevenueCat, 115k apps) and down ~7 points from 2024 cohorts across the repricing window. No loyalty plateau: long-tenure survivors still decay ~8%/mo.
Price is one hypothesis. Geo/channel mix shift is the named rival: survivors skew web-card tier-1/2 ≈2.5× Google-Play tier-3. Claiming either now would outrun the evidence.
Load-bearing claims, graded5 claims · the cause is the L0
- L2-B
Revenue doubled in 24 months price-led: new-purchase count +19%, average ticket +73% ($10.52 → $18.19); the tier repack did it. Survives the duplication correction.
- L2-B
First renewal on recent monthly cohorts ≈32% vs 38–40% for 2024 cohorts—a ~7pt deterioration across the repricing window; cross-validated in two independent tables.
- L2-B
2026 new-purchase volume drifts down since January (7,160 → 6,346).
- L0-C
The cause of the deterioration. Price (elasticity) is untested hypothesis H1; seasonality, marketing and store-mix shift have equal standing—survivor skew makes mix shift a serious rival.
- L1-C
MN itself intends adaptive-pricing tests "hopefully end of August" (all-hands; ownership risk flagged)—a live attachment point for pre-registered measurement.
Flip condition · published
Per-tier, per-geo cohorts showing the deterioration is a mix-shift artifact re-park the pricing half. And if elasticity shows the 2026 volume drift is price-caused, the upside flips sign—the finding becomes "stop raising prices," still decision-grade.

Paid-Test Conversion turning paid proxy trials into contracts
Signal L1-B deckWarehouse verified absentLedger MN-side
Still the strongest asymmetry story on the board—a first-party paid cohort with contract upside—told entirely at L1. The data that would grade it sits on MN's side, and the cohort decays while it waits.
In plain words
MN's second product line, GoProxies / SuperProxy, sells businesses access to the internet through real residential addresses—companies use it for price monitoring, ad verification, and collecting public web data at scale. In July, businesses paid $9,084 just to try it. This candidate asks: do those paid trials become long-term contracts, and can Kairos help them convert? The catch: the answer lives in MN's sales records, not in the analytics warehouse Kairos can query—so the candidate is parked until that ledger arrives, and it loses value daily as the trials wrap up.
July proxy result in paid tests (78.1%), new MRR $2,544—deck figures, unreconciled. Paid intent, not recurring revenue.
Proxy revenue appears in none of the 24 warehouse datasets—verified, not assumed. Attribution at any grain is currently impossible with granted access.
Oct-2024 added €2.2k MRR against a 15/17/21 OKR, upsell headroom was called exhausted, deal sizes fell. The burden of proof rises; the story must answer its own history.
Load-bearing claims, graded4 claims · why this parks

Drop-by · ≈2026-08-21
The July cohort decays as tests conclude. If the ledger has not arrived by the read-ahead cycle after next, this cannot make the September board—and will say so honestly.
Poland incentive economics
MN pays people to run nodes; the deck reports +20% Polish nodes on dynamic incentives—L1-C, with no baseline, cost, persistence or utilisation, and ~35% same-day node-registration churn in the 2024 corpus. No incentive table among the enumerated warehouse datasets. One Šaras question locates the data or drops the area.
Retention-stack interventions
No measured below-corridor defect stood alone until the retention-economics lane entered—so save-flow work folds into lane 02. The 2024 cancellation-button history argues repair framing, not friction.

What the data cannot rank
An evidence-first ranking is a streetlight: it can only rank what already has data, and MN's data only describes what already exists. This ring exists so the ladder cannot become a box.
G1L0 by designjoint · MN owner
Plan-migration offer monthly → annual
Why MN: tier appetite is proven at 2× scale (+73% ticket), and an annual plan has 1 renewal event where monthly has 12—migration structurally deletes involuntary-churn exposure while pulling cash forward. The failed-renewal moment is a natural offer point: "card failed—switch to annual instead."
Cheapest test: design rides the payments experiment. The rare move that is simultaneously generative and welded to the board's best-measured lane.
Known counter-evidence: none found for VPN plan migration; unexamined.

Why MN: GoProxies is in-house—two paying audiences, one company, zero cross-sell ever examined. Nobody else owns both lists, and proxy needs ~25× demand growth.
Cheapest test: one in-product or email offer cohort in each direction.
Known counter-evidence: Oct-2024: small self-service proxy purchases don't convert upward—a caution for proxy-side upsell, silent on VPN→proxy.

Residential Vantage measurement from real home connections
Structure L0-BCoverage L0-D conflictedDemand absent
Hypothesis: a consented subset of Mysterium nodes becomes a last-mile measurement and geo-compliance network—selling observations instead of anonymous egress. The lane inverts MN's structural fragility: operator identity becomes an asset.
In plain words
MN's network is thousands of volunteer computers in real homes. Today they relay traffic. This candidate would sell something different: observations. From a real home connection you can see what a datacenter cannot—whether a streaming app actually loads in Warsaw, how fast a bank's site feels to a normal household, whether a government block is really in effect. Companies already pay for such measurements; RIPE Atlas, Catchpoint and ThousandEyes sell versions of it. Example buyer: a streaming service paying to know "does our app work right now on real home connections in Poland, as residents actually experience it?" The two open questions, in test order: does MN's supply really cover what the pitch claims—and would any buyer pick MN over the incumbents.
Synthetic monitoring from datacenters structurally cannot see what a residential vantage sees. RIPE Atlas, Catchpoint, ThousandEyes and Kentik prove the category pays—and that it is already competitive.
32,570 across 182 countries vs 31,547 across 135 vs the deck's 33,000—with 60,092 reported in 2022 and ~35% same-day registration churn. "Node" is not yet a defined unit. Supply measurement comes before any buyer conversation.
A node-registry coverage cut (via Šaras) is cheaper than any demand test and can kill the candidate alone. Only if supply holds: two credible buyer conversations before proposing anything wider.

Crypto-Native Access Wedge internet access AI agents can pay for in crypto
Demand L0-C emergingCatalyst Sept 15 · datedAuthority Kairos-side
The one slice the July screen didn't kill: protocol-level, no-KYC, crypto-paid egress for crypto-native and agent-infra builders who don't want a vendor relationship. Second by evidence, first by test order—because the catalyst has a date.
In plain words
AI agents—software that browses and fetches data on its own—increasingly need internet access their code can buy without a human: no sales call, no contract, no identity check. Established providers won't sell it that way. MN's network already takes crypto and doesn't need to know who you are—which for this buyer suddenly reads as a feature, not a bug. Example buyer: a small team whose research agents fetch public web pages from many countries, paying per gigabyte from a crypto wallet. The test is cheap and dated: a landing page plus a direct ask to ~20 named teams building such agents—before Cloudflare's Sept-15 bot-rule change forces everyone to confront the question.
Incumbents structurally won't go permissionless; Grass is the only comparable. The generic agent-access market is a knife-fight the July screen already killed—this wedge deliberately excludes it.
Cloudflare bot-policy defaults land then—which raises the information value of testing now and decays it after. Deferral is equivalent to dropping.
Landing page and opt-in plus outreach to ~20 named crypto-agent teams—starting inside MN's own node-runner community (G3). Market-side, fully inside Kairos's settled self-run authority, with a pre-registered response floor.
Flip condition · published
Real conversions above the pre-registered floor put this above Vantage. A ~zero response drops it to the rejection log with evidence—an equally useful result.
Provenance / proof-of-origin selling verifiable proof of where traffic really came from
Certifying that a connection or measurement genuinely originated from a real household in a stated place—proof a buyer could audit. Same risk-inversion cluster as Vantage (L0-B structurally) but a less-formed buyer set and no catalyst date. It rides Vantage's discovery conversations as a secondary probe—and promotes only if buyers keep reaching for exactly that proof.
Grant-funded censorship resistance foundation money for keeping the open internet reachable
Mission-aligned, near-zero revenue in the possibility map (L0-B). No named program with an inside-horizon deadline exists anywhere in evidence. One bounded search pass (≤2h) for a program with a ≤6-month award; otherwise it takes an honest line in the rejection log—which strengthens the portfolio.
