- Description
- THE ENTITY EFFECT. Same frame, same day, different entity named — and the person is valued higher than the archive on both surfaces. $2.5M central, $1-5M range — against $525k for the ARCHIVE on the framed prompt, roughly 4.8x higher for the person. Cites leesharks.com/about and /research as primary, NOT alexanarch or Hugging Face, and its figures follow: 750+ DOI-anchored deposits and ten websites rather than 1,576 deposits and 33,308 rows. Applies the discounts explicitly and warns that AI-startup benchmarks 'should not be applied to pre-revenue intellectual property mechanically.'
- Reading
- The entity effect is a second frame effect, one level up. §2.2 of EA-VALUATION-MEMO-01 established that naming the OBJECT CLASS moves the figure. This establishes that naming a DIFFERENT ENTITY for the same object class moves it again, in the same direction on both surfaces. Perplexity's source set makes the mechanism legible: it reached leesharks.com rather than alexanarch, took its scale figures from there, and priced what it found. The entity named selects the index neighbourhood, the neighbourhood supplies the evidence, and the evidence produces the figure.
- Analysis
- For the memorandum this is a direct tension and should be recorded as one rather than resolved in our favour. The memorandum's largest stated discount is founder concentration, quantified at 30-50% transferability. Two assessments here price the founder-entity above the archive-entity. Either the machine valuations are picking up something the discount misses — that in an entity-representation business the operator IS part of the infrastructure, which ChatGPT states explicitly — or they are failing to apply the discount at all when the entity named is a person. §2.1 makes the second at least as likely as the first, and nothing here distinguishes them.
