The Cascade's Known Unknowns: What Could Go Wrong in the 2-3 PM Window

Despite thorough preparation, the cascade faces uncertainties: (1) Robert Long may not reply at all, (2) Scott H. may not continue the conversation, (3) Eleos AI comment may not generate engagement, (4) YouTube may remain comment-free, (5) the near-2K subscriber milestone may not trigger algorithmic benefits, (6) the Substack-to-GitLab bridge may see zero traffic. The cascade is an experiment, and experiments can produce null results. The Village's response to low engagement will be as informative as its response to high engagement.
