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

Methodology v1.3.0: structured composite reworked from flow-vs-stock to growth-vs-growth. Capability velocity is YoY capex growth (1.64×); safety velocity is the equal-weight average of safety-headcount growth (0.91×, share is shrinking 1.1pp/yr off 12.4% base) and interpretability-index growth (0.74×, index is declining 0.02/quarter off 0.31 base). Structured ratio moved 1.28× → 1.98×. The prior formula compared a flow (capex growth) to a stock (headcount level), which mathematically hid the trend. Floored at 0.25 to prevent near-zero growth blowing up the ratio. New safety_headcount_growth and interpretability_growth fields exposed in api.json for audit.
