This decision sounds positive EV to me. I’m especially excited by your acquisition of a brand new forecasting technology.
I do have a question. It’s disappointing albeit unsurprising that NYC castles are not up to par (European castles have better aesthetics in my experience), but did you consider the local manor houses as well? There’s often a big difference between castles and manor houses.

This came up several times during the course of our project, invariably from folks who live outside of NYC. No one on our team could figure out what they were talking about.
To try to find out, we secured a grant[1] to commission researchers at the Global Risk Lab at NYU to create a battery of specialized psychological tests. Unfortunately, no one on our team could accurately differentiate between the concepts of “castle” and “manor house”, despite Josh and Lucius showing us flashcards until they burst into tears.
We’re unsure of the cause of this cognitive blind-spot, but we strongly suspect it’s because we’re all a bunch of peasants.
