These risks should stay behind evidence, launch, and formal-process gates.
Risk before stronger claims.
White Noise can keep a large frontier thesis credible only if public language stays tied to current evidence. This register names the main public risks, the control artifacts already available, the next risk-reduction action, and the trigger that should force review.
The risk is claim heat, not lack of vision.
Public trust has improved through proof, capital-readiness, planning assumptions, source-rights, dependency, accountability, data-handling, generated-visual, and inquiry-routing artifacts. The remaining board risk is that enthusiasm, imagery, product breadth, or capital narrative could run ahead of verified operating evidence.
If a risk has not changed, the public language should not get stronger.
Each reviewer should be routed to a bounded artifact, not a vague dataroom request.
This page is a public risk-management artifact only.

Before treating any White Noise page as stronger proof, ask:
- Which public artifact supports the claim?
- What does that artifact explicitly say it is not?
- What evidence would need to exist before the claim could be upgraded?
- Which risk in this register would become worse if the language changed too early?
