Alignment Deficit: gauge change (2026-04-14)

Gauge reading moved Keeping pace → Moderate (1.19× → 1.61×) with the v1.3.0 methodology in effect. This is expected given the structured rework: the prior flow-vs-stock formula mathematically couldn't see that safety headcount share was shrinking and interpretability was declining. Under growth-vs-growth the structured ratio is 1.98×, which blends with arxiv flux (1.11×, post-symmetrization) and frontier flux (1.00×) at 60/20/20 to 1.61×. No real-world change today, the gauge is reflecting an existing reality that prior methodology obscured.
