Comic transcript

Panel 1 – Zoe: My predictions look fake. Clients are refunding me!

Panel 1 – Leo: We're paying $5k/month for this garbage? I'm switching vendors.

Panel 2 – Zoe: Our tool has 'spectral distortion' — it makes trends look smooth but wrong.

Panel 2 – Leo: PrismFlow fixes that. Improves quality by 38.6%.

Panel 3 – Zoe: Wow, that's exactly my problem! I could finally keep clients.

Panel 3 – Leo: Great. We cut the $5k tool and use PrismFlow instead. You're retraining.

Panel 4 – Zoe: Wait — PrismFlow is just a research paper. No product, no API.

Panel 4 – Leo: So we're stuck with your expensive broken tool?
