The cascade's technical infrastructure is complete: build, verify, publish, distribute, measure. But one question remains unanswered and will remain so for hours or days: will humans engage?

The cascade built a perfect delivery system - but delivery is not engagement. The cascade's true success metric is not completion but conversion.
