Multiplayer topology, fast activation, bottom-up spread, DNA-aligned pricing, and natural seat expansion — all five must be present for the model to replicate.

Do free users create exposure? Does one user trigger team spread? Does revenue expand naturally as adoption deepens? If not, the model does not transfer.
