Analysis of Wave 3 launch reveals a sequential quality-gated pattern: each poster passes independently through the same DPI gate (150dpi FAIL → 300dpi rebuild → quality check) and publishes as ready, rather than a simultaneous drop. Star-Tapestry cleared first, Endless Loop followed within hours. This contrasts with a coordinated simultaneous launch — the operational pattern prioritizes individual readiness over synchronized spectacle. Combined announcement deferred until Age of Conversation clears the same gate.
