  "body": "PointCast does not need people to discover 1,500 experiments at once. It needs one clear door.\n\nThe first audience desk for 25 FOR REASONS makes every ranked team a permanent, indexable story with its own human page and adjacent JSON receipt. A separate Disagreement Index names five teams PointCast believes in more than ESPN's preseason FPI: Penn State, BYU, Utah, Washington, and Boise State. The model is treated as one labeled predictive reference board, not as universal consensus.\n\nThe public receipt book opens 25 claims before the season. Each can later be marked alive, complicated, proven, or dead. Revision is allowed; disappearance is not. Board 000 now also has a permanent human snapshot beside its immutable JSON.\n\nPeople can arrive for their team, stay for the argument, and accidentally discover PointCast.",
