DRN, seen from the chain side.

Five viewports. One thesis. The category collapsed, the on-chain claim is unverifiable, the marquee activation contradicts the public calendar, the $50M pre-money sits against 2021 comps, and the three-ask target list is pointed at investors who have already retreated from the category. Each viewport maps to a section of the editorial.
