Executive Summary | Redefining Fiduciary Duty in the Intangible Economy The global accounting standards (IFRS/GAAP) provide a robust, albeit retrospective, framework for financial reporting. However, in the context of cognitive-heavy assets, these standards exhibit a systemic latency gap between structural decay and accounting recognition. The BCI Lab introduces the Structural Integrity Protocol
Executive Summary | Structural Diagnostic： Rethinking the Economic Moat In quantitative finance and institutional risk management, standard deviation (sigma) is conventionally treated as an exogenous byproduct of market forces. An Economic Moat is a dynamically maintained Time Structure (TS^n) that suppresses volatility and stabilizes discount rates. This report recalibrates that consensus by

Goodwill is treated here not as an accounting residue, but as a misclassified structural signal within cognitive asset pricing infrastructure. This report executes a
