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

Alignment Deficit reading moved Keeping pace → Moderate (1.19× → 1.61×) following the v1.3 methodology rework. This is a measurement-bias correction, not a real-world worsening: the prior reading was understating the deficit because the structured formula compared a growth rate (capex) to a level (safety headcount). With both sides now expressed as growth rates, the gauge correctly reflects that capability investment is growing 64% YoY while safety headcount share and interpretability are both declining. The previous 'Keeping pace' reading should be considered retrospectively corrected.
