Why this matters

The point of naming an idea like "Sovereign Intelligence Fund" is not branding. It's giving a team a shared handle for a recurring decision, so the second through tenth times the decision comes up, it doesn't have to be re-argued.

A working example

A concrete instance: Alma's automated auditor runs every three hours, applies high-confidence corrections, and surfaces lower-confidence cases for human review. The boundary between "auto-apply" and "review" is exactly where "Sovereign Intelligence Fund" lives.
